Man Attacked With Iron Bars In L'Derry
A man has been beaten with iron bars in a paramilitary style attack in L'Derry.
The victim was assaulted at a property on Ballymagowan Avenue just after midnight on Monday.
A woman and two children were also in the house at the time.
The man sustained injuries to his head and legs and is being treated in hospital.
Chief Inspector Tony Callaghan said: "Police work diligently to find evidence to bring those responsible before the courts. Paramilitary style attacks have a significant impact on the local communities and PSNI work alongside local communities in an effort to bring an end to this unacceptable violence.
"Those who are involved in paramilitary style attacks do not represent the interests of any community nor contribute anything to it. Communities have a choice, and it is clear that the vast majority of people here have chosen to support the police and support law and order. Those small groups of individuals who continue to try and terrorise people and commit criminal acts must be isolated from communities."
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
