A MAN was taken to hospital by police after he was assaulted by a number of men on Suffolk Road shortly after 8pm on Sunday evening.
The male had earlier been spoken to by police after a separate report that he had made remarks to a teenage girl that made her uncomfortable.
However, police say the male is not linked to a number of incidents in the area over recent days.
