Two men aged 22 and 25 were reportedly attacked at around 4.30am on Sunday on the Garvaghy Road by men with weapons.

They both received head injuries in the assault and are being treated in hospital.

A car was later found burned out in the Drumnagoon Road and police believe that may have been related to the incident.

The 50-year-old man will appear in court in Lisburn on Monday.
