Gardaí are continuing to investigate two violent incidents which took place in Letterkenny before Christmas. 

Two men were brutally attacked – and one of them stabbed – in late night assaults in the early hours of Saturday 22nd December 2018.

Both assaults are thought to have occurred in the vicinity of the Church Lane or Castle Street areas of Letterkenny between 3:30am and 5am on Saturday morning.

Gardai believe that both incidents may be linked and may have the same assailants.

A man in his 20s and a man in his 30s received serious but non-life threatening injuries in two separate incidents and each was taken to hospital. One of the men had apparent stabs wound injuries, according to investigators.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was in the vicinity (Church Lane, Castle Street, College Road, St Eunan’s College or entrance to Hawthorn Heights) at the time and saw anyone acting suspiciously or notice anyone being assaulted or in distress to make contact.

They are also appealing to motorists or taxi drivers who were in the area between 03:30hrs and 05:00hrs on the 22.12.2018 with dash camera footage to make contact.

Anyone with information is asked to contact investigating Gardaí at Letterkenny Garda Station on 074-9167100, The Garda Confidential Telephone Line on 1800-666-111 or any Garda Station
