Police in the North are appealing for information about a serious assault in Belfast in the early hours of this morning.

Just before 2am the PSNI was called to the Roden Street area following reports a man was being assaulted by a number of men.

When they arrived they found a man lying unconscious in the street.

The man was taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries which are said to be non life-threatening.

Detectives are keen to speak to a taxi man who was in the area at the time.
