GARDAÍ in Shannon have this week renewed their appeal for information about a serious assault that took place in the town last Sunday week when a man was stabbed in his home in the Cluain Airne estate.
The man was attacked at 6.30am in the morning after he opened his front door and was then stabbed in the stomach by a man who was standing outside. The man then fled the scene.
Last week Gardaí released details of the person they believe is responsible for the attack.
He is described as being 5’8” in height and approximately 20-21 years of age. He was wearing a navy jacket with an Eircom logo on the back. Gardai say he may have had a black eye.
Now, a week on, Gardaí have released a photograph of the type of jacket being worn by the man who committed the attack.
“We hope that this picture might jog someone’s memory,” a Shannon Garda spokesperson said. “This is the kind of jacket he was wearing and we believe him to be local to Shannon and living in Shannon,” he added.
