A man has been seriously assaulted by three masked men with baseball bats in Larne.
Police received reports of the attack on an alleyway near Churchill Road at around 9:25pm last night.
The victim, aged in his twenties, crawled to a house on Churchill Road where he sought help.
Police responded and took the man to hospital for treatment of injuries to his ankles and arm.
The perpetrators are described as wearing dark-coloured clothing.
Detective Sergeant Crothers said: "This was a vicious beating which the victim sustained. There is absolutely no justification for this type of savage attack.
"We are working to establish a motive for this, and would appeal to anyone who may have been in the area, or anyone who has information about this incident, to call detectives on 101, quoting reference number 2147 of 15/06/20.
