An Garda Síochána have appealed for witnesses to an assault in Dublin City Centre which left a young man with “serious head injuries.” The incident occurred at the junction of Aston Quay and Westmoreland Street, at 3.50am on Saturday 29 June.

In addition to witnesses to the incident, Gardaí are also looking for anyone who may have observed anything suspicious on O’Connell Bridge or in the directions of Bachelors Walk and Bachelors Way after 3.50am on 29 June 2019. They are also appealing to any motorists who may have Dash Cam Footage and travelled these routes from 3.50am onwards.
