Gardaí have appealed for witnesses following the discovery of an injured man in south Dublin on Saturday night.
The man, who is in his 30s, was discovered by a passerby on Firhouse Road at 8.15pm. He was removed to Tallaght Hospital, where he is said to be in a serious condition.
At this stage of the investigation, gardaí believe the man’s injuries were the result of an accident, possibly a fall.
They have asked anyone with information on the incident to contact Rathfarnham Garda station on 01-6666500.
They are particularly interested in speaking to a blonde woman who stopped to help the man but left the scene before gardaí arrived.
She is described as being in her late 30s or early 40s. She drove a black saloon car and had a child with her in the vehicle.
