'This was a sinister attack which has left this man with potentially life-changing injuries'
The victim of the serious assault was discovered in Bushmills, Co Antrim in the early hours of today with a nail through each hand, the PSNI said in a statement issued on Sunday.
“Also in the public car park near Dundarave Park, two vans including one belonging to the injured man were on fire. Crews from NI Fire and Rescue Service also attended, extensive damage was caused to both vehicles. Graffiti found on a nearby gable wall of public toilets is being linked to the assault and arson.”
“We live in a democratic society where there is no justification for this. Those responsible brutalise their own communities and control others through intimidation and violence. “Our enquiries are ongoing and we would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and has any information, including dash-cam or other footage, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 13 of 5/5/24.”
