The 20-year-old victim was knocked to the ground and struck

with what police believe was a hammer.

:00:20.:00:22.

It's thought that up to ten people were involved in the assault.

:00:23.:00:25.

The trouble followed an Irish league football match between Cliftonville

:00:26.:00:27.

During my time I have a counsellor, we have had numerous incidents like

:00:28.:00:45.

yesterday. It doesn't happen all the time, it can be quiet for years and

:00:46.:00:50.

Let's turn our attention to the weather now,

:05:41.:05:47.

and here with the outlook is Geoff Maskell.

:05:48.:05:51.

It has been a wet and windy weekend, but this afternoon both of those

:05:52.:05:59.

factors have started to change. Overnight tonight the Met Office

:06:00.:06:04.

have issued a severe wet weather warning for eyes. That is in force

:06:05.:06:11.

from 9pm. As the skies clear from the North, the temperatures will

:06:12.:06:18.

drop away. -- a severe weather warning for ice.

a warm air across the south of England. North of that so much

:06:45.:06:49.

cooler temperatures. Some wintry showers across the Highlands of

:06:50.:06:54.

Scotland. We are in the colder son, so well by will be showers

:06:55.:06:58.

continuing there are also some brighter spells. If you wrap up, it

:06:59.:07:02.

would be quite a decent day. We are in the cold son as we go into

:07:03.:07:07.

Tuesday, another reasonably bright day. Some showers could be wintry.

:07:08.:07:13.

As we head into the start of next week, things getting brighter, but a

:07:14.:07:15.

good bit cooler. Our next BBC Newsline bulletin
