A 26-year-old man is in hospital after being beaten by a gang of masked men in the Shantallow of Derry last night.
The man was injured when the gang forced their way into a house at Leafair Gardens shortly after 11.00pm.
He was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital for treatment for injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.
PSNI Detective Inspector Craig has appealed for information.
He said: “I would appeal to anyone with any information about this incident to contact CID in Strand Road Police Station on the non emergency number 101.
“Or if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
