“Naturally the victim is deeply traumatised by this incident and people in the Waterside area will be shocked and will reject this violence on their doorsteps.

“I have been speaking to the police and they are actively investigating this incident. I would also appeal to anyone with information about this despicable attack to pass it onto the police immediately so that the thugs responsible can be apprehended and brought before the courts.”
