Down man blinded by stiletto heel in sectarian attack

A Downpatrick man has been blinded by a woman who stood on his head in stiletto heels, according to a local Sinn Féin councillor.

Sinn Féin's Eamon McConvey has condemned what he called an 'unprovoked sectarian attack' in the County Down town which has left the Catholic man blinded.

Mr McConvey said the victim was knocked to the ground and repeatedly kicked by assailants who also shouted sectarian slogans, before he was blinded in one eye by the woman's shoe.
