A man has suffered serious facial injuries in a “nasty” racially-motivated assault, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said.
The victim, in his mid-40s, was attacked by another man in Railway Street in Strabane at around 2.15am on Sunday.
A PSNI spokesman appealed for any witnesses to the incident to speak to officers.
“This was a nasty assault, during which the victim was punched and kicked,” he said.
