Romanian Man Hospitalised After Assault

A Romanian man is in a serious condition in hospital following an assault in Dublin.

Gardai at Pearse Street are investigating the attack, which occurred at the junction of Hawkins Street and Poolbeg Street, Dublin, at approximately 2am on Sunday the 12th of October.

The injured party, who is still unidentified but is believed to a Romanian national, was attacked by two men who assaulted him and took property from his pockets before running off towards the O'Connell Street bridge area.

The injured party is in a serious condition in St James Hospital. Gardaí from Pearse Street wish to speak to anyone who may have information about this incident.

Officers are particularly looking to speak to anyone who may have been in the Hawkins St, Poolbeg St or Burgh Quay area at approximately 2.00am on Sunday morning, especially taxi drivers who potentially may have picked up two males in the O'Connell Bridge area.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Pearse St Garda Station 01-6669000 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800-666-111.
