Chase for second burglar after horrific ordeal

GARDAÍ are closing in on a second burglar who subjected a couple and their young children to a horrific ordeal at their home on Wednesday.

The suspect and another man — a known crack cocaine addict — threatened to kill the couple’s two-week-old baby and their two-year-old son.

Phuong Nguyen pounced on one of the burglars and fought with him as he tried to flee the house with cash. The struggle ended in his mother’s house next door when Mr Nguyen grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed the burglar a number of times in the leg.
