Three people have been injured in two separate paramilitary-style assaults in northern Ireland overnight.
A man is being treated for a broken leg and cuts to his arm and face after he was attacked with baseball bats by two masked men who forced their way into the livingroom of his home at Ashford Green in east Belfast.
The victim's girlfriend was also assaulted in the attack. The man's car was also damaged.
A man was shot in the leg in Lisburn shortly after 8.30 p.m. yesterday evening. He was taken to hospital for treatment following the incident at Hulls Lane.
