Man treated for knife stuck in throat

A MAN in his 40s from Listowel, Co Kerry, was in a serious condition last night after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a knife from his throat at Kerry General Hospital.

The man, whom gardaí believe is from England but who has been living in Ireland for many years, walked from his home in Neelish Close to a neighbour’s house a number of doors away to summon help.

This was shortly before lunchtime yesterday.
