Gardaí investigate sex assault claims

GARDAÍ are investigating claims that a woman was sexually assaulted in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The woman was discovered in a distressed state by a motorist driving along a relatively unpopulated part of west Dublin.

The woman flagged down the car and told the man that she had been assaulted. The man immediately contacted the gardaí, who received the alert at about 4.30am and dispatched a unit to Baldonnell Road.
