Music fans may have seen attacker

People leaving a school concert may have seen a man following a young woman who was later found semi-conscious in a Co Cork harbour town.

Gardaí have revealed that the woman has told them she panicked and contacted friends because she was being followed by the man in Kinsale.

Gardaí were alerted by her friends and later found the woman in a distressed state on a popular walkway between Compass Quay and Dromderrig Bridge at about 10.30pm last Monday. She was taken to Cork University Hospital and later discharged.
