Co Kildare man recovering after stabbing in Naas

A young Co Kildare man is recovering at home after being stabbed in 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 wearing a beanie hat 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.

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.
