Man may lose eye after bottle assault

A MAN in his 20s may lose an eye after being struck in the face with a broken bottle following a night of violence in Cork city.

And in a separate incident, gardaí had to draw batons to disarm a man wielding a samurai sword early yesterday.

The man in his 20s, who was attacked with the broken bottle, was removed to Cork University Hospital where surgeons are fighting to save one of his eyes.
