A man is being treated for a serious eye injury after he was attacked in west Dublin last night.
It is understood the man was walking home at around 11 p.m. when he was attacked by three youths at Newtown Park in Leixlip.
He suffered a serious eye injury and a broken ankle in the attack and is being treated at the James Connolly Memorial in Blanchardstown.
He is the third man to have been attacked in Dublin since the weekend. A cyclist sustained serious head injuries after he was attacked in Grafton Street early on Sunday. Another man was attacked on the Long Mile Road yesterday.
