Serious Assault Investigation – Cork

The Gardaí at the Bridewell Station, (Cork) are investigating a Serious Assault that occurred at Hanover Street on the 10Th May 2025 in Cork City at 2am in the morning.

This was a busy Friday Night/Saturday morning in the City Centre, and was a particularly busy weekend as students from Colleges in the City were finishing up their end of year exams. The victim who is a student was sitting outside the front door of a busy city centre night club on Hanover Street when he was kicked multiple times to the head by a male and female suspect.  These two suspects were in the company of another female.

The male suspect appeared to record the incident on his mobile phone. The victim was knocked unconscious and was assisted by nearby security personnel. He was subsequently transported to hospital by ambulance to be treated for his injuries. While the victim has recovered fully from his injuries but is still understandably traumatised by the incident.

After the incident the suspects fled the area on foot and their last known location is on Grand Parade which is a main congregating area for people waiting on taxis and night line buses.
