ian1964 10,613 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 An attack on a 43-year-old man in Coleraine on Sunday was sectarian, according to the town's mayor. The victim received treatment for facial injuries after being attacked at Killowen Street at 02:00 BST on Sunday. It is understood he was kicked in the head and punched in the face. The police said they were still trying to establish a motive for the attack. DUP councillor George Duddy claimed the man was singled out because he was wearing a Rangers football top. "I've been a touch with the victim and his family and this is a disgrace," said Mr Duddy. 'Fatality' "He got a taxi home and had about 30ft to walk to his front door when he was beaten by another man. "He has received stitches and has a possible fractured cheekbone. "He is a very strong Rangers supporter and is a quiet man. "He was wearing Rangers clothing at the time of the attack." Mr Duddy said the victim had "some disabilities which leaves him incapable of defending himself". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-foyle-west-28637780 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
