Appeals for information on Naas stabbing

Gardai are renewing appeals for information on a stabbing in Co Kildare.

A young Co Kildare man is recovering at home after being stabbed in the stomach on  a busy Naas street in broad daylight.

The Naas man in his early twenties, was standing outside Paddy Power's, on Poplar Square, with two other men, when a lone man approached them with a knife.

Gardai reported that the man  also tried to stab the other two men, who are both in their early twenties. They managed to escape the knife attacker.

However, their friend was not so fortunate and was hospitalised in Naas. He has been discharged and is recovering well.

A description has been given of a man wearing a puffy jacket with black shoulder pads. He is understood to be in his early twenties with a gaunt complexion and possibly spoke with a Dublin accent.

Appeals are being made by Gardai for anyone who saw a white saloon car, in close proximity to the stabbing incident, between the hours of 4.20p.m. and 4.35p.m. on Thursday last.
