A 56-YEAR-OLD* man was injured in a stabbing in Dundalk yesterday evening.
Gardaí in Dundalk investigating the incident have issued an appeal for information about the knife attack which occurred at Patrick Street at about 6.30pm.
The victim was taken to hospital and his condition has been described as serious but not life-threatening. He received wounds to the face, neck and arm.
It is understood that there was more than one culprit. According to the Garda press office, the man was sitting in his grey Renault car when he was approached by three men.
One of the men got into the car and allegedly stabbed the victim. The three men then fled the scene on foot towards Del a Sal terrace. The injured man exited his car and entered a nearby pub, looking for help. He left the premises but collapsed on the street outside.
Investigating Gardaí would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have information to contact the Gardaí at Dundalk 042-9388400, the Garda Confidential Line 1-800-666-111 or any Garda Station.
*An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to the victim as a 46-year-old.

Good to see this sort of stuff!
In fairness NASA are great at this sort of thing. Their astronauts give loads of their time in ISS to education.
… at this sort of thing too.
@Paraic McDonagh: Nasa ARE great at this. They’ve been faking it since the beginning. So good at it now that it nearly appears real. Pity they can’t push past the 600 mile mile Van Allen belt limitation though. Spoils the whole show.
Fantastic opportunity for these young kids. I am very jealous!
Brilliant for these schools.
Apparently we’re all on a big ball, rotating at a speed of 1000mph and further rotating around a Sun, at 67,000mph. In addition, all of that is hurtling through an infinite universe at speeds up in the 100s of 1000s of mph – yet I feel absolutely zero vibration, lateral movement, or rotational pull from it all.
Do you?
@Patrick Mac: And isn’t it interesting that when the Navy projects their 2″ missile beam across over the surface of the seas boasting up to 60 mile of accurate range, they never see any radius or curvature on the sea plain, impeding their view across the 60 mile span. The rise in the middle across 60 miles should be .45 of a mile. I think one would notice that.
