Appeal Over 1970s Attempted Murder
Police are appealing for information in connection with an attempted murder of a man in the West Belfast area in the early 70s.
Detectives from the PSNI's Legacy Investigation Branch would like to speak to anyone who has any knowledge of an incident in the Falls Road area during which an attempt was made to shoot and kill a man.
Detective Inspector Neil NcGuinness, from LIB, explained: "We believe the victim was walking to work early on a Monday morning when he was approached by a group of men in a car.
"One of the culprits got out of the vehicle, held a gun to the man's head and fired it but the gun failed to go off. The victim was then hit over the head with the gun before his assailants fled the scene.
"We are keen to trace the victim of this terrifying attack or anyone who has any further information in relation to it. The details are vague at this stage but I am confident there are people out there who will know about this. We need them to come forward and contact us so that we can progress our investigation."
