A PSNI spokesperson explained: "The injured male had been further assaulted, while lying on the ground, by a male we believe came from the Donard bar.
"If you were in the area and saw anything or were passing and have dash cam footage it'd be great to hear from you.
"Call us and quote ref 1051 31/03/19. Or tell Crimestoppers completely anonymously on 0800 555 111."
