The 41-year-old man and two women, aged 22 and 44, appeared at Larne Magistrates Court today. Two other men are being questioned in connection with the assault.
The three were arrested on Wednesday morning following the assault of a Catholic at Gardenmore House Flats at around 12.30am on Wednesday morning.
The victim, named as a 29-year-old Gerard McRandle, was walking home toward the entrance of the flats when he was attacked by two men who forced him to the ground before kicking him several times in the head. The victim is said to be "seriously ill" in hospital.
Larne SDLP councillor Danny O'Connor condemned the beating as an "act of barbarity".
