Following the incident, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, April 7 at around 12:55 am, the man was taken to University Hospital Galway where he is currently in a serious but stable condition.

Gardaí in Galway are continuing to investigate this assault and are appealing to the public for information, with any person who may have witnessed this incident is asked to contact Gardaí.

In a statement issued by the Garda press office, a spokesperson added: “Any road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling around the areas of Bridge Street, Dominick Street and Ravens Terrace between midnight and 1am are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact the North Western Regional HQ in Galway on 091 538000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.”

The same day that the serious assault occurred, Good Friday, the search for a missing person was also stood down by Gardaí after the discovery of a body in Galway.

An appeal had been made earlier in the week for help in tracing the whereabouts of Mark Milmo. The 37-year-old was reported on Thursday.

However, in an update issued on Saturday, Gardaí said they are calling off the search.
