Investigation Launched Into West Belfast Assault
An investigation is underway after three men were assaulted in west Belfast on Saturday, 05 August.
Police said the victims were walking on Kells Avenue at around 8.25am when a red coloured Southern-registered Volkswagen Golf stopped beside them.
Two men jumped from the vehicle and assaulted two men. After stealing a wallet from one of them, one of the suspects also produced a hammer and threatened the victims, with a 71-year-old man sustaining a bump to the head.
The suspects eventually got back into the car and made off. Elsewhere, officers are investigating criminal damage to a car in Oranmore Drive around the same time.
It was reported that two men in a red coloured car smashed the windscreen and passenger window of a Toyota car parked on the street.
Sergeant Tom Donnelly said police are investigating a link between both incidents.
"Anyone who witnessed the incidents or anyone with any information that can assist with the investigation to contact officers in Woodbourne Police Station on 101 quoting reference number 360 of 05/08/17," he said.
"Information can also be passed anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
