A man has been charged following what Police described as a racially motivated hate crime in Coleraine.
A man in his 40s was hospitalised following an assault in the town last night at around 10:15pm.
A short time later, a house was broken into, and the occupants were threatened.
The 31-year-old has been charged with a number of offences, including attempted murder, behaviour intending or likely to stir up hatred, and possession of an offensive weapon.
He is due to appear before Coleraine Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
