A man in his 30s was taken to hospital following an assault by a group of masked intruders armed with hammers during a burglary in County Antrim on Friday evening.
The incident occurred at a property in the Princes Drive area of Newtownabbey. Police said the attackers forced their way into the house by smashing both the front door and a window.
The injured man sustained wounds to his leg, head and back as a result of the assault. Two women who were present in the property at the time were not physically harmed, though both were significantly distressed by the experience.
Investigators are seeking information from members of the public who may have witnessed the attack or have other details that could assist the inquiry. Anyone with relevant information has been urged to come forward and contact police.
