Gardaí in Dublin have appealed for witnesses after a 39-year-old cyclist was assaulted with a baseball bat by two men in what appears to be a random attack during rush hour yesterday evening.
Gardaí at Kevin Street in Dublin are investigating the incident which happened at Victoria Quay at around 5pm.
They are seeking two males who were travelling in what may have been a light coloured Peugeot 206 car who assaulted a male cyclist with a baseball bat.
The cyclist was travelling from James Joyce Bridge onto the quays where the assault took place.
The injured man was removed to St James’s Hospital where he received medical treatment although his injuries are not thought to be serious.
A garda spokesperson said the gardaí were trying to establish a motive for the assault but said that it appeared that it was a random attack.
The gardaí are asking for anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact Kevin Street Garda Station at 01-6669400, the Garda Confidential Line 1-800-666-111 or any garda station.
