Limerick Gardaí are appealing for help from anyone who may have information regarding an assault that occurred in the city over the Bank Holiday weekend.

On Sunday evening between 8pm and 8.20pm, a man was attacked at O'Callaghan Strand.

"This happened between eight and twenty past eight in the evening," said crime prevention officer Sergeant Ber Leetch. "The crime office in Mayorstone are investigating and it is a busy area."

"Gardaí are appealing to anybody who was out walking on O’Callaghan Strand last Sunday between those times and who may have seen this assault to contact them on 061-456980," Leetch added.
