Man due in court over north Dublin sword attack
A 33-year-old man is due before Dublin District Court this morning in connection with a sword attack in a north Dublin pub on Sunday night.
A 27-year-old man had his hand severed in the attack, which happened at the Deputy Mayor pub in Meakstown in Finglas.
Two men, one armed with a hammer and another with a samurai sword, walked into the pub at around 9pm and singled out the victim.
He underwent intensive surgery yesterday at St James's hospital to have his hand re-attached and is now said to be in a stable condition.
