Police investigating sectarian related hate crime following Claudy assault

Police are appealing for information following a report of an assault in Claudy on Sunday, July 16.

It was reported at around 10.45pm that a man in his 30s was assaulted by a number of men in the Baranailt Road area, before they left in a silver Seat Leon car. He received minor injuries.

The suspects shouted sectarian abuse and this is being treated as a sectarian related hate crime.

Enquiries are ongoing and we would appeal to anyone with any information to contact Police on 101 and quote reference number 1709 of 16/07/2023.

Alternatively, you can submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/ makeareport/.
