Man (32) attacked when row broke out with another man near Daunt Square end of Grand Parade in city centre on Wednesday
A doctor and a nurse happened to be in the area and tended to the assault victim, helping to stop him bleeding while members of the Garda Armed Support Unit, who have first aid training, were quickly on the scene and they too assisted in trying to stabilise the man’s condition.
According to garda sources, the man was extremely fortunate not to die at the scene as he suffered a serious wound to his throat, and he remains in a critical but stable condition at the Intensive Care Unit at Cork University Hospital. The man was detained under Section of the Criminal Justice Act which allows garda detain suspects for up to 24 hours, but it’s understood that the man’s questioning was suspended overnight, and he can be held until the early hours of Friday morning before he must be charged or released.
