POLICE IN BELFAST are appealing for information after a man was beaten with a pool cue in an attack in a pub last Thursday afternoon.
The 38-year-old man was sitting in the bar on Norglen Drive in west Belfast at around 2.30pm when he was attacked by two men unknown to him.
“One punched him in the back of the head knocking him to the ground,” Detective Constable Sam McCallum, who is investigating the incident, said in a statement.
