Gardai swarmed a north Dublin house last night blocking off the road for hours after one man attacked another at a house.
Officers rushed to Finglas shortly after 9pm when locals raised the alarm during a disturbance in the Wellmount Park area.
There was a "huge garda presence" in the area with locals only able to watch on in fear after screams filled the air.
The injured man is currently recovering from injuries in Connolly Hospital.
One eye-witness told Dublin Live of their terror after the attack.
They said: "Someone was taken away in an ambulance and there was a huge garda presence blocking the road off."
Another added: "The helicopter was involved, you could hear a commotion in the house with screams. It was very frightening.
A Garda spokeswoman told Dublin Live: "Officers reported to an incident of assault which occurred on Thursday 3 June, at approximately 9.30pm. at Wellmount Park.
"One man assaulted another man at a house and he was removed to James Connolly Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries."
She added: "No further information is available and investigations are ongoing."
