A mum says she is having to sofa surf after two thugs came to her house and hurled 'sectarian abuse' while banging the windows and doors at her house.
The young mother was inside the property in Lurgan with her 18-month year old son on Sunday, April 30, when the two men appeared, reports Belfast Live. She says she was just putting the boy to bed when she heard the terrifying banging and is now seeking a move out of the area after police advised her that it would be for the best.
She explained: "I had been lying watching films with my son and had just put him to bed when it all started. I had heard the group outside in the street prior but didn't think anything of it until I heard the banging on my doors and windows.
"It was a terrifying thing for us to go through and I have never had anything like this happen to me before. After the police came they advised that it could be safer to leave the area and I definitely won't be back to that area ever again.
"The Housing Executive have told me there are no suitable properties for me to go to at the minute so I am having to sofa surf for a while until one becomes available but they have told me that I am a priority. It is just horrendous that people would put us through something as terrible as this.
"My son and I have been just trying to live our lives and mind our own business and shouldn't have to face intimidation like this."
