Police in Belfast are investigating an attack on a Chinese woman (29) in her east Belfast home.
The woman was struck across the face by one of a three-man gang who broke into her home at Invernook Drive at around 12.30 p.m. yesterday.
The men left in a brown or green four door car and when she tried to see the registration of the car one of the men returned and threatened her.
A racial motive is one line of inquiry being investigated and police have called on anyone with information to contact them.
