Two men stable after savage attack

NEIGHBOURS in a quiet Cork estate were scrubbing blood off the pavements after the stabbing of two young men yesterday.

A man named locally as Gary O’Sullivan, aged 21, and his 20-year-old friend were savagely attacked at 3am by two knife-wielding intruders in a rented house on Elm Drive, Shamrock Lawn, Douglas.

Both victims were taken to Cork University Hospital with multiple stab wounds. Their condition is said to be serious but stable.
