Appeal after man knifed and car driven at him in murder bid

The attempted murder of the 40-year-old man happened two days ago.

Around 10.25pm on Wednesday, May 31, the man was walking at Hillend Road when a group of men armed with knives got out a dark coloured Volkswagen Golf and assaulted him.

Following this incident, the injured man then managed to make his way to Eriboll Crescent where he was deliberately driven at by the same car.
