Attackers who cut off hand caught on tape

CCTV footage captured two men as they went to attack a man in a pub with a samurai sword and a hammer, resulting in the victim’s hand being completely severed.

Luckily, the victim did not die from blood loss and surgeons were later able to reattach the hand to the arm, although it is not known if the procedure has been successful.

The Deputy Mayor pub in Meakestown, Finglas, north Dublin, was busy with locals at 9.15pm on Sunday when the assault happened.
