Former IRA man critical after attack
Police in Belfast are treating an attack on a man with a baseball ball yesterday evening as attempted murder.
A former IRA prisoner in Northern Ireland is on life support after being viciously assaulted with a baseball bat and left in a pool of blood, a detective said today.
Frank McGreevy (51) was discovered critically ill by his 15-year-old son in the living room of his ground floor flat in Ross Street, west Belfast, yesterday evening.
Police discovered a pick axe handle and blood strewn throughout the scene after Mr McGreevy was bludgeoned about the head.
He appealed for anybody who had seen a Volkswagen Gold, reg mark AEZ 3796, stolen in Dunville Street and left in Dera Foster Walk to contact police.
