Following three stabbings in Ballycarry on Friday night, Councillor Mark McKinty, who grew up in the village, issued the following statement:
“The entire community woke up this morning in a state of complete shock when news of last night's incident filtered through.
“First and foremost, I send my best wishes for a speedy recovery to the three injured parties, all of whom I know well.
“Sincere thanks must go to the PSNI who were on the scene very quickly, possibly preventing further injury or a fatality. I would encourage anyone with any information to speak to the police and assist with their investigation.
“Ballycarry is a small and peaceful community which is understandably shaken today, and I know the whole village will rally around those individuals and businesses affected.”
