Investigation underway following late-night incident in Ennis
Gardai in Ennis are renewing their appeal for witnesses following what has been described as a "serious assault" in the town earlier this month.
The incident at Abbey Street happened at around 12.30am on May 16, last.
"A male in his 50’s was approached by three youths, he was assaulted by one youth and subsequently treated for serious facial injuries in hospital," said a spokesperson.
While serious, the injured party's injuries are not life-threatening.
