Serious assault: Police appeal for information
Hamilton Police are investigating a disturbing incident, where a woman was assaulted in her home in Fairfield on Saturday night.
The woman was assaulted after confronting two men attempting to enter her address on Clarkin Road about 9pm.
The offenders fled the address towards River Road, leaving the victim with injuries requiring hospitalisation.
“We are urging anyone with any information on this appalling crime to come forward,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Neilson. “Nobody should be unsafe in their own home and the victim is understandably shaken. We’re providing wrap around support for her.”
“If you know something about this abhorrent crime, please come forward as soon as possible. Even the smallest detail could be crucial.”
Detective Senior Sergeant Neilson says Police will be carrying out reassurance patrols in the area.
“We’re still working to establish the full circumstances and ask anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage from the neighbourhood around Clarkin Road to review the video and contact us if it shows suspicious or unusual activity.”
Police were particularly interested in the period between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Saturday.

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
