Garda hunt underway as woman left in critical condition after knife attack

A WOMAN was in a critical condition last night after being subjected to a crazed stabbing at her home in north Dublin.

The woman, named locally as Violet Quigley, 44, was repeatedly stabbed by an attacker in the torso, particularly in the lower stomach and kidney areas.

Neighbours, including a nurse, came to her aid after she screamed for help from the bedroom of her house in Donaghmede at around midnight on Thursday.
