Man attacked in face with bottle at Rose festival

A BROKEN bottle is believed to have been used in an assault during which a man sustained serious facial injuries in Tralee early yesterday.

The man, in his mid-30s and from Tralee, was rushed to Kerry General Hospital and later transferred to Cork University Hospital.

He received horrific injuries to his face, which required many stitches. He also had some chest injuries. However, the injuries are not life-threatening and his condition was yesterday described as comfortable.
