Three men were charged with attempted murder today following a weekend attack in Co Down that left a man fighting for his life.
The trio, aged 18, 19 and 20, were arrested in the wake of an attack in main street, Castlewellan on Saturday night that resulted in three men being taken to hospital.
One of the three remains in a critical condition in Belfast’s Royal Victoria Hospital.
Police said the accused were also charged with causing grievous bodily harm and are due to appear at Downpatrick Magistrates’ Court later.
A fourth man arrested over the attack has been released on police bail pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
The PSNI made a special point of thanking people in Castlewellan for information they were given about the attack.
