A MAN suffered head injuries after being set upon by four hammer-wielding thugs during a shocking attack in his Airdrie home.
The stunned 39-year-old victim – who police believe was “targeted” – was taken to hospital following the heinous assault which took place at the Moffathill property around 5pm last Tuesday, December 8.
The four unidentified attackers burst into the man’s home and struck him with the hammers, with police now appealing for information relating to the terrifying assault.
Detective Constable Paul James of Lanarkshire CID said: “Our investigation into this incident is ongoing and we would urge anyone with information, or who saw any suspicious activity around the area on Tuesday, December 8, to come forward.
“Our enquiries so far suggest this was a targeted attack with no risk to the wider public.
“Anyone with information can call police on 101, quoting incident 1310 of December 8, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
