Copeland condemns East Belfast assault

Ulster Unionist MLA Michael Copeland has condemned an attack on a house in east Belfast last night.

The East Belfast representative said;

“Last night at approximately 19:15 a group of people attacked a house in Foxglove Street in the Beersbridge Road area of east Belfast and terrorised the occupants - a young man and a young woman - who required hospital treatment.   

I attended the scene shortly after the incident and met a number of local residents who were extremely concerned at what had happened.

I utterly condemn this incident and would appeal to anyone who saw anything or can assist the Police in any way to come forward immediately.”
