Sectarian Attack in Belfast City: Teenager Assaulted with Road Sign Amid Rising Anti-Social-Behaviour

A 16-year-old boy was battered with a road sign in a city centre attack being linked to anti-social-behaviour in the north of the city.

Teenager's Ordeal: The victim and his girlfriend faced a violent assault in which doormen at a club eventually intervened to save them. The attack, suspected to be sectarian-motivated, is believed to be connected to ongoing harassment in the North Belfast area around Girdwood complex.

Police Investigation: The PSNI confirmed that they are treating the assault as a sectarian-motivated hate crime and are appealing for witnesses to come forward providing any relevant information.
