A man in his 50's has been stabbed in the neck in West Belfast.

 

It happened just before 11am on Christmas Day between the Turf Lodge and White Rock areas.

 

Three men are said to have verbally abused him before one of them carried out the knife attack.

The victim was treated in hospital for injuries which aren't believed to be life-threatening.
