Man Hurt As Kidnap Bid Fails
Detectives are appealing for information after a report of an assault at Edward Street, in the south Belfast area in the early hours of this morning.
A police spokesperson said that, at around 20 minutes past midnight, it was reported that a man was approached at a car park in the area by three unknown masked men.
It is believed the man was handcuffed, assaulted and an attempt was made to bundle him in the rear of a silver coloured vehicle.

It is also believed that the man lost a number of teeth during the incident.
At this stage, the man's injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
