A man has been attacked by a group of three other men twice in the space of a month in north Belfast, leading police to make an appeal for information. <\/p>\n
Officers said they\u2019re working to determine whether the same three suspects carried out both attacks. <\/p>\n
Detective Sergeant Faulkner said: \u201cOn Wednesday, 17th December, we received a report a man had been assaulted last month in the Oldpark Road area, close to its junction with Ballynure Street.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Tuesday, 18th November at approximately 11pm it\u2019s understood up to three men tackled the victim to the ground, where he lost consciousness. He required hospital treatment for a head injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe man, aged in his 40s, was assaulted once again by three men in the same area at 11pm on Saturday, 13th December who came from the direction of Gracehill Court.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt present we are working to identify if these three suspects were involved in the first assault last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were wearing dark hoodies, and their faces were covered. During the second assault, the man was kicked and punched until he lost consciousness and required hospital treatment for facial injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working to establish the circumstances surrounding both of these reports, who was involved, and a motive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who witnessed either of these assaults or has dash-cam or other video footage that could help our investigation, is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 706 17\/12\/25.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) stock image.
