Detectives in Antrim are investigating after a man in his 40's was serious assaulted at a bar in Doagh.
Around 6pm on Wednesday 15th March a group of men entered the bar on Main Street, armed weapons including hammers and baseball bats and attacked him.
Police believe the men then fled on foot to waiting cars. The victim was taken to hospital where he's being treated for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
