Appeal after man assaulted at William Street at New Year

It is reported that a 27-year-old man was assaulted at approximately 1.30am on William Street, near the North Street end.

Unusually police have issued a description of the victim rather than the assailant.

The assaulted man has a shaved head and was wearing a dark coloured jacket and cream coloured trousers.

He did not require medical treatment for his injuries.

Constable Michael Allen said: “I would ask anyone who knows anything about this incident, or may have seen any suspicious activity in the area, to contact Lurgan Police Station on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 302 of 01/01/17.”
