Sectarian motive investigated in Belfast attack
Police in the North are investigating a possible sectarian motive for an assault on a 27-year-old man in Belfast last night.
Up to five men, one of whom may have had a gun, forced their way into the man's flat on Newtownbreda Road at around 8.30pm.
They tied him and beat him before ransacking the property, dragging him into the garden and assaulting him again.
The man and his father, who lives next door, both say they believe the incident was motivated by sectarianism.
