A severe attack put a man unconscious, and shortly after he recovered, he was attacked once more, reports The Mirror.
The event occurred on Monday, January 20, at around 6 p.m. in Belfast.
Two men “repeatedly kicked him and punched him” before the victim was initially pushed to the ground, according to the PSNI.
The attackers left the area after the man was rendered unconscious during the assault, reports The Mirror.
When he regained consciousness, two men rushed at him from a small, red automobile and attacked him once again.
According to Belfast Live, the man was hospitalised after suffering injuries to his head, nose, and jaw, reports The Mirror.
In a statement, a PSNI spokesperson said: “Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses following a report of an assault in north Belfast earlier this week,” reports The Mirror.
Detective Sergeant Magee added: “At around six pm on Monday 20th January, a man was walking in the Oldpark Road area towards Rosapenna Street, when he was knocked to the ground by two men who repeatedly kicked him and punched him. He was knocked unconscious, and the assailants ran off. It was reported that the victim later came round and continued to walk in the direction of Rosapenna Street, when, as he was passing Ballymoney Street, two men got out of a small red car, ran towards him and assaulted him, before making off. The man who was assaulted was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment for injuries to his jaw, his nose and his head. His mobile phone screen was also smashed during the incident. It was reported that all four men were dressed in dark coloured clothing,” reports The Mirror.
