The thieves made off with cash and personal items, leaving their badly battered victim in a state of shock and distress. He was treated for cuts and bruises at South Tyrone Hospital in Dungannon.

The RUC appealed for information about the incident, and wants to hear from anyone who noticed anything suspicious in the area.
