Officers have been carrying out extensive inquiries and checking CCTV in the area to trace those responsible.

Detective Sergeant Nicola Kilbane from Baird Street CID said: “At the moment we have no clear motive for this attack “However, we now have a good description of the vehicle involved which is a white, Ford Focus, estate model which has a 07 number plate.

“I would ask anyone who has any information about this vehicle or who may have seen it since lunchtime yesterday to get in touch. The vehicle itself would have sustained damage, and I would also appeal to any garages who have been asked about repairs to a white Ford Focus Estate in the last 24 hours to get in touch.

“I would also like to appeal to anyone who was in the Royston Road area and saw the man speaking to three men in a white car.”

You can call police on 101.
