A man was beaten and hospitalised in a paramilitary style assault near Bangor last night after being abducted from an alleyway in Conlig.
At around 9.30 p.m. the man was walking through an alleyway in the Breezemount Estate when he was bundled into a car by a number of men and driven to a laneway adjacent to the Conlig reservoir.
He was beaten with baseball bats and sticks and was later hospitalised with a broken ankle, broken finger and injuries to his arms and body.
Detectives at Bangor are appealing for information.
