A man in his 20s is recovering in hospital this morning following a stabbing incident in Muirhevnamor last night.
The assault occurred in the Grange Drive area of the estate at around 7.45pm last night.
A large number of emergency services were called to the scene with ambulance personnel treating the man at the scene before removing him to hospital. His injuries are described as “non-life threatening.
It is understood he suffered a minor laceration to his neck as well as cuts to his face and arms.
No arrests have yet been made in relation to the incident. Anyone with information on it is asked to contact Dundalk Garda Station on 042 9335577 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
This was the second stabbing incident in the estate yesterday. A 26-year-old man was found in a house in the Slieve Foy area with a number of stab wounds to his arm at 4am yesterday morning.
He had lost a large amount of blood and was taken to hospital where his condition is now said to be stable.
A 52-year-old man arrested in connection with that stabbing has been released without charge and Gardaí are preparing a file for the DPP.
Gardaí are investigating whether there is a link between the two incidents.
