BURGLARS attacked a couple in their bedroom early today.
The two thieves fled after the raid ended in a struggle.
The incident was one of several burglaries in the Fartown area in the early hours of this morning.
At 4.30am two men broke into a house on Skipton Avenue in Fartown.

The husband was hit with a frying pan. His wife was also slightly hurt.

The thieves then fled from the house, but drove off in the man's car.
