Police investigating the nailing of a man to a fence in Co Antrim are investigating a paramilitary link to the attack. The UDA are being blamed locally following the attack on the man in his 20s in Bushmills. He was found shortly after midnight on Sunday with a nail in each hand.

A young man in his 20s endured a horrific ordeal when he was nailed to a fence in a car park in Bushmills, Northern Ireland. The attackers didn't stop there; they also set fire to two vans nearby, one of which belonged to the victim.

UUP leader Doug Beattie says the attack had "all the hallmarks" of being carried out by loyalist paramilitaries.
