Priest injured in attempted robbery
A Catholic priest in the North was treated in hospital today after an attempted robbery at his parochial house.
The priest suffered a hand injury when two men kicked in the door of his home in Upper Dunmurray Lane, Dunmurray.
The men also used an axe to smash a safety chain on the door before following the priest into a study.
They then demanded money but left empty handed when the priest told them he had contacted police.
A police spokeswoman said it was believed the two men made off in a dark coloured saloon car, which had two other men in it.
“A second unidentified car is also thought to have been in the area at the time,” he added.
Police have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
