The scene has been preserved for a technical examination I FILE PICTURE
A WOMAN is in a critical condition this Saturday night after she was assaulted on the side of a road close to the Limerick-Tipperary border.
There are unconfirmed reports the woman, aged in her 20s, was travelling in a car which was rammed off the road on the R494, Birdhill, County Tipperary. It is believed she was dragged from her car and viciously attacked by other women.
A garda spokesperson said officers and emergency services responded to the incident shortly before 5.30pm this Saturday.
They discovered a woman, who was “seriously injured”, when they arrived at the scene.
“She was airlifted to hospital where she remains in a critical condition.
“The scene remains preserved for a technical examination and the road is closed with local diversions in place,” said a garda spokesperson.
