Attack targets Coleraine victim
The Coleraine man who was injured in the sectarian clashes that claimed the life of Kevin McDaid has been the target of another attack.
Damien Fleming was attacked by a loyalist mob and left for dead near his home, after disturbances flared between Rangers and Celtic fans in May.
His friend community worker Kevin McDaid was killed just feet away.
It is understood Mr Fleming was assaulted again on his way home in the Heights area at around 11.30pm on Wednesday night.
He was reportedly attacked by two men who got out of a car and kicked and pushed him before making off.
Mr Fleming was discharged from hospital last month.
On Tuesday, the High Court heard that more than 20 people were under death threat following the killing of Kevin McDaid.
Half of those warned by police are witnesses, while the rest include men suspected of involvement in the attack in Coleraine, prosecutors revealed.
Eleven people have been charged in connection with Mr McDaid’s murder and Mr Fleming’s attempted murder.
Police have confirmed they are treating the incident at Pate’s Lane as sectarian.
They have urged witnesses to contact them.
