A man sustained serious injuries in an attack by a masked gang in a property in Co Down.
Detectives are appealing for information about the incident in Newtownards on Saturday, during which shots were also fired through the door of the house.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “It was reported at around 10.45pm, shots were fired through the front door of a property in The Meadows area of Newtownards.
“A number of masked males entered the property and assaulted the male occupant who, as a result, sustained serious injuries.
“The males then made off from the scene.
“Horrific violence has been inflicted on this man.
“Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing, and we are appealing to anyone who was in The Meadows area at the time and saw any suspicious activity, or who may have any CCTV footage captured or any other information which could assist, to contact us on 101, and quote reference number 2007 of February 19.”
