Cobh sword attack: Gardaí trying to identify attacker who left man (32) fighting for his life

Gardaí are continuing to harvest and study CCTV footage in an attempt to identify and trace a lone assailant who left a 32-year-old man fighting for his life. The man was seriously injured in a sword attack in Co Cork over the weekend.

The assailant then left the scene in the car, it is understood, leaving the injured man on the ground bleeding profusely. While passersby came to his aid and raised the alarm, he is believed to have lost a lot of blood before paramedics arrived. The Guinness heir on the future of the Iveagh Markets: ‘It’s going to turn into a jewel in the crown’Paramedics and an emergency medical consultant spent more than 40 minutes trying to stabilise the man at the scene before he was removed by ambulance to Cork University Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery for life-threatening injuries before being put on a ventilator.

They are particularly anxious to speak to anyone who was in the Newtown Road area at 7.45pm-8.15pm and may have camera footage including dashcam footage.
