Assault victim fights for life after being dragged from house and beaten

A MAN is fighting for his life following a shocking assault in broad daylight in a Dublin estate.

Neighbours and children out playing saw the victim being dragged virtually naked out of a house onto a green and hit a number of times. The incident occurred in the middle of the afternoon in the Dublin suburb of Drimnagh.

The man, aged 44, who was only wearing his underpants at the time, was brought to St James’s Hospital. His condition deteriorated overnight and he was taken to intensive care, where his condition is said to be very serious.
