An elderly man has been left with injuries after he was attacked by a group of men in his own home.
Shortly before 8.30pm on Sunday night (30 November), a gang of men forced their way into the victim's home on the Dunnyboe Road, Co Tyrone.
The man, who is in his 70s, was attacked by the group and he received cuts to his face and an injury to his hand.
