Man injured in Letterkenny hammer attack – two serious assaults at weekend

written by Chris McNulty April 16, 2019

A man sustained serious injuries to his head after being struck by a hammer in Letterkenny at the weekend.

The man was set upon at around 1am on Sunday morning in the Pearse Road area, close to the Riverside apartments.

A man is believed to have been attacked by two males, who used weapons, including a hammer, during the course of the attack.

Garda Rafferty asked in a weekly community alert for anyone who lives in the area and who saw or heard anything to make contact with Gardaí at Letterkenny on 074-9167100 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666-111.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to two serious assaults in Letterkenny in the early hours of Sunday morning.

It is not believed that the two are connected.

At around 4.30am, a male was set upon at Oldtown Road. The man was waiting on a lift at Lower Main Street when he was approach by a group of makes and one female.

He was verbally abused before being attacked at Old Town Road where he received ‘quite a few injuries’, Garda Rafferty said.

Again, witnesses are asked to contact Gardaí at Letterkenny on 074-9167100 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666-111.
