Couple Who Intervened To Stop Lurgan Assault Urged To Contact Police

The PSNI have appealed to a couple who intervened in a New Years Day assault in Lurgan to contact them.

A 42-year-old man remains in a serious condition in hospital after he was attacked by another man, while in a takeaway on Union Street, Lurgan in the early hours of New Years Day.

Police said that they believe there were a male and female couple who intervened and helped the victim, "possibly saving him from much worse. We would very much like to speak to them."

Anyone else who was in the area and witnessed anything or has heard anything since, is urged to contact police on 101.

In their statement, PSNI concluded: "Lets start the New Year by helping a victim get justice. If you know something, speak out."
