A 56-YEAR-OLD* man was injured in a stabbing in Dundalk yesterday evening.
Gardaí in Dundalk investigating the incident have issued an appeal for information about the knife attack which occurred at Patrick Street at about 6.30pm.
The victim was taken to hospital and his condition has been described as serious but not life-threatening. He received wounds to the face, neck and arm.
It is understood that there was more than one culprit. According to the Garda press office, the man was sitting in his grey Renault car when he was approached by three men.
One of the men got into the car and allegedly stabbed the victim. The three men then fled the scene on foot towards Del a Sal terrace. The injured man exited his car and entered a nearby pub, looking for help. He left the premises but collapsed on the street outside.
Investigating Gardaí would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have information to contact the Gardaí at Dundalk 042-9388400, the Garda Confidential Line 1-800-666-111 or any Garda Station.
*An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to the victim as a 46-year-old.

I hope the Man is okay and recovers well and they find who did this.
Becky, you got 2 thumbs down for that. The only explanation is either the culprits who did it are reading the journal or else we have 2 complete and utter gobsh1tes here.
James, I think it is highly likely that they are reading the journal.
James oh my your right but I would say heartless people how would they like to be stabbed or one of there family. What’s the world coming to? When you can’t even comment on a man being stabbed and wishing him well :-(.
Amazing isn’t it
It sure is James
What a horrible experience for this man, to receive several cuts, which put him in a serious condition, hopefully
he will make a speedy recovery…..
The sooner the culprits are caught the better, and are dealt with by the full force of the Law, they are Cowards and nothing else..
Hope he’s having a big mug of tea and an Easter egg in his hospital bed.
What’s wrong with people ?!
Been asking that very same question an awful lot the last few years!!!!
Drugs?
