TWO PEOPLE HAVE been arrested this morning over an assault in Leitrim that left a man fighting for his life.
The serious assault occurred on 17 July, when gardaí received reports of a man lying on the main street in Carrick-on-Shannon. When they arrived, they found an unresponsive man lying on the road. He was taken to Sligo University Hospital and gardaí said he remains in critical condition today.
The 30-year-old is understood to have been involved in an altercation with a group of people, both male and female, on the footpath of Main Street which then spilled out onto the road. A number of witnesses were interviewed and CCTV footage from the area was also reviewed.
Gardaí said a man and woman, both in their 20s, were arrested in the Leitrim area this morning in connection with the incident.
Anyone with any information can contact Carrick-on-Shannon Garda Station on 071 9650510 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.

Massive disconnect with bills and earnings! For those ignoring this, and saying all is good and wages are high, explain why crime is trending one way and its not downwards.
@Michael Mc Gee: partially because irish courts are very lenient and crime is easy, and goes mostly unpunished.
Going the way of the USA..
People with 2 and 3 jobs, homeless…
@Gerry Dornan: van life on the way?
Imagine believing anyone in government cares about anyone other than themselves, their rich friends and multinationals.
You’ll own nothing and be happy.
