Men due in court over iron bar attack on businessman

Two men were charged last night in connection with a brutal iron bar attack in Cork City which has left a businessman fighting for his life.

The men, aged 19 and 25, were arrested shortly after the assault in Churchfield on Tuesday evening. They are due in court this morning.

The father of two young children who was beaten with the bar during a botched robbery is fighting for his life in Cork University Hospital (CUH).
