Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Michael Brennen said : “This was a nasty incident which has seen the victim sustain a serious head injury.

“While no arrests have been made, investigations are ongoing to identify three men who are believed to have been involved.

“We know there would have been a lot of people at this car boot sale this morning who potentially will have seen the incident and I would urge them to get in touch as they may have vital information that could help with our enquiries.

“The suspects are believed to have left in a vehicle, so I would also appeal to anyone who may have dash cam footage of the vehicle leaving the car boot.”
