Two men stabbed during row in Dublin city

A man in his 20s is recovering in hospital this morning after being stabbed during an overnight row in Dublin's city centre.

The fight broke out between two groups of youths on O'Connell Bridge just before 3am.

Two men, both in their early 20s, were taken to St James's Hospital with stab wounds.

One was later released after receiving treatment, while the other underwent surgery for non-life-threatening injuries.

A section of the footpath on O'Connell Bridge has been sealed off for technical examination and gardaí say they are following a definite line of inquiry in the case.
