A dispute between two families led to six men being hospitalised after a violent confrontation erupted at a Limerick housing estate overnight.
“A long trail of blood” and several injured men were found at Griffith Avenue, Ballincaurra Weston, about 8pm Tuesday night, said a Garda source.
Six males were taken to hospital where they were being treated for injuries sustained in the brawl that involved at least 10 people.
Sources said a number of weapons were produced during the early evening attack. The fighting, they added, is linked to a dispute between parties dating back several weeks.
A Garda source said gardaí had seized two vehicles as part of their investigations.
“Gardaí are investigating a public order incident at Griffith Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, Limerick . . . where approximately 10 people were involved in a fight. A number of these people were taken to hospital as a result,” said a spokesman.
“No arrests have been made but gardaí are following a definite line of enquiry.”
