Surgeons fight to save courier's leg

SURGEONS were yesterday attempting to save a van courier’s leg after raiders blasted him at point blank range with a shotgun.

Pat Dunne, 40, was ambushed by three men early yesterday in what Cork gardaí described as a vicious attack.

Although he sustained gunshot injuries to the upper leg, Mr Dunne, bleeding heavily, crawled across a field to a roadway to raise the alarm.
