TWO men aged 19 and 20 have been targeted in a homophobic attack in west Belfast.
The victims were targeted on the Falls Road near the Beechmount area at around 2.50am on Sunday morning.
A PSNI spokesman said neither man was seriously injured.
Their attackers were last seen walking towards the Donegall Road/Whiterock area.
Police have appealed for information.
People Before Profit MLA Gerry Carroll described the attack as "shocking and disgraceful".
"It will disgust the vast majority of people in west Belfast," he said.
"Homophobia has no place in our society. Solidarity with these two young men."
