A woman has been taken to hospital with a head injury after being attacked with a suspected clax hammer by masked men in Belfast.
The incident took place shortly after two armed men entered a property in the Carnmore Place area at 12.30am where a man and his young child were sleeping before threatening him. Detective Sergeant McCartan said: “Police received a call just after 12.30am from a man in the Carnmore Place area, who reported that he had been asleep in bed with his young child when two armed men entered his home. They threatened him before leaving again when they appeared to realise that they were at the wrong address.
“The woman was taken to hospital for treatment to head injuries, caused by what she believed was a claw hammer. At this time, we await a medical update on the severity of these injuries.
