THE PSNI IN Newry are looking for three men after an elderly disabled man was beaten, stabbed and robbed in his home.
The attack took place in the Clogharevan Park area of Newry in the early hours of this morning.
Detective Inspector Harry Colgan said:
At approximately 2.40am police received a report that three men had broken into a house and entered a bedroom where the elderly, disabled male occupant of the house was in bed. They then proceeded to assault him with a sharp implement. He received several wounds to his body as a result of this assault.
“He has been taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries.
“It is believed that a sum of money was stolen.”
Colgan appealed to the public for help in finding those responsible.
“I would appeal to anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity in the area or who has any information to contact detectives at Newry on the non-emergency number 101.
“Or, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

A list of long-reads curated by very far-left Aoife Barry…I think I’ll pass.
@Martin Black: You can always read your new Beano and Dandy annuals tomorrow dearest!
@Martin Black: The far-left is a myth created by the nationalist far-right who use the freedom of the press, so they can shut shut down free press. When the neo-nazi’s got in power like using Trump as their mouthpiece.
@Martin Black: passing up educating yourself? Not shocked.
@Number 20: I don’t usually reply to idiots
@Martin Black: the unfortunate left wing liberals! If they don’t want to live in the USA come to ireland and they will feel very much at home here our government will welcome your taxes
You could argue that if it wasn’t for the Obama administration helping the good Jahadi in Syria and Libya keeping the civil war going then the massive influx of refugees into Europe would not have happened….The very large refugee numbers on TV every night swung the Brexit referendum to leave side in June 2016……Also in the US massive European refugee problem moved election in Trump favour as well as fear Hillary would up the millitary stakes in Syria. …Merkel has lost her majority also in German government because of refugee crisis. ….Could say Brexit ….Trump winning …and Merkel almost losing election were indirectly not deliberately caused by Obama administration. …
@John003: Change the effin record. You’re commenting about the ‘good Jahadis’ in Syria every second day whether your rambling has any relevance to Syria or not.
The Obama administration didn’t prolong the war in Lybia either, I don’t know where you got that from. If you were paying attention you’d have realised that NATO/US-intervention shadowed an uprising against Gaddafi in the country – hastening his defeat not prolonging the conflict – the exact opposite of your claim.
Facts are overrated these days, I see.
It is almoste impossible to read anything on the Journal without drawing a logical conclusion. If it involves , Muslims, travellers or any other contentious issue it is FAKE NEWS.
Why is ‘the right’ always demonized in the meeja? Sometimes it feels like if you anyway right of Stalin,your a bigot. Insane times we live in.
It seens the article (s) are overwhelming the intelligence of some readers this morning. Merry Christmas
@Johannes Baader: definitely. I clicked in to one or two to read them but they were very bloody long and windy. Normally the sit down Sunday articles cover a range of interesting topics but this seemed to be very a narrow selection.
Thanks Aoifa. But I know everything i need to know about that yoke.
@Thomas Maher: must be great to know everything you need to know
@Mary Murphy: Well Mary, how much more do you need to know? He’s a hate filled, Sexist, Misogynistic, Fear-mongering, Racist, Bigoted, homophobe, and a sociopath with psychopathic tendencies. Who’s public actions speak louder about about him and his agenda. Than anything I could write.
@Thomas Maher: change the record label man zzz
@Mark Mcloughlin: zzzzzzzzz
@Thomas Maher: go back to your Xmas soaps
have your say
