A woman has been left with head injuries after being attacked with what is believed to have been a claw hammer.The armed men who attacked the victim demanded money before leaving. She was taken to hospital for treatment.
It came after a man who was asleep in his bed with a young child was threatened by two armed intruders in a nearby house. That incident happened in Carnmore Place at about 01:30 - police said the intruders left when they appeared to realise they were at the wrong address.One of the men was armed with a hammer or hatchet, while the second appeared to be holding a firearm, police said.
They are described as wearing dark clothing with ski masks, baseball caps and gloves. Both men had Belfast accents.Related Topics
