A MAN was woken from his sleep after another man allegedly struck him with a cup on Thursday.

The 40-year-old had been asleep at a property on Lennox View when he was understood to have been hit with the object by a 20-year-old at around 2.30am.

He reportedly suffered three lacerations to his face and was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment.

The 20-year-old was arrested and due to appear in court on Friday.
