Arrest likely in hammer fight

GARDAÍ in Clonmel are following a definite line of inquiry in relation to last Friday’s hammer attack on a busy shopping street.

The 32-year-old victim of the assault is said to be doing well in South Tipperary General Hospital, but no arrests have been made in relation to the incident.

Bypassers looked on in horror as a fight broke out between a number of people outside a busy shop on Clonmel’s main thoroughfare, O’Connell Street.
