Teen fighting for life after altercation outside Cork pub

A teenager is fighting for his life after an altercation outside a Cork city pub.

The 19-year-old man from Mayfield is in a critical condition in Cork University Hospital (CUH) after he suffered a serious head injury during the incident outside the Cotton Ball pub on the Old Youghal Road on the northside of the city on Saturday.

The teenager underwent emergency brain surgery to ease pressure arising from internal bleeding but his condition has not improved.
