Police are asking witnesses to come forward after a man was seriously assaulted at Lidl in Foundry Retail Park.
Officers arrived at the scene just after the incident, which happened at around 7.05pm on Tuesday, June 7.
It was thought at the time that a stabbing had occurred, however, it transpired that the 24-year-old victim had actually been hit across the head with a metal instrument.
He was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening or non-life changing injuries and has since been discharged from hospital.
Officers are particularly keen to speak with a group of three men, one of which had a grey bike, at the time of the attack.
Anyone who witnessed the assault or has information which could help officers with their enquiries is asked to report it to police online or call 101 quoting serial number 1174 of 07/06.
