A man in his 20s remains in a critical condition in hospital in Limerick following a serious assault early yesterday.
The attack took place at about 2.20am when an argument broke out between three men sitting in a car at Crecora Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston.
It is understood the victim was assaulted inside the vehicle before he was pushed out onto the road and struck by the car as it was driven from the scene.
The victim was found at the scene a short time later with serious injuries.
The car involved in the incident was found badly damaged and crashed against a wall a short distance away.
The men in the vehicle fled the scene on foot.
