POLICE IN BELFAST are investigating a serious assault which left a young man in hospital for Christmas.
The victim, who is in his 20s, was on a night out in the city centre on 12/13 December when he got separated from his friends at about 3.30am.
About five hours later, he woke up in an alleyway off University Street with serious injuries. He was brought to hospital where he remained until yesterday.
He has no recollection about how he got there or how he was injured.
