A man may require facial reconstructive surgery following an assault in Omagh, police have said.

The 46-year-old man reported that he was attacked close to the bus depot on Mountjoy Road on Sunday.

He said it came after “remonstrating with another man, whom he didn’t know but who was asking for a lift”, sometime between 1am and 2am.

“The victim was assaulted and kicked whilst on the ground, and has sustained a number of facial injuries which it’s believed will require some reconstructive surgeries,” a police spokesperson said.

“Investigating officers are asking witnesses and anyone who may have captured dashcam, phone or any other footage in the area to get in touch with them. Please call 101, quoting reference number 902 29/12/25, Or submit online at https://www.psni.police.uk/report.”
