Another festive period over with, but not without incidents…just like a scene out of prison drama OZ. Hope your New Year’s wasn’t as dramatic!
GARDAI are investigating a report about the attempted rape of a young man during a New Year’s Eve disco.
The 19-year-old claimed that the assault took place in a toilet cubicle of a hotel in Donegal town in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
The alleged victim told gardai he was in a toilet cubicle at around 2am when an older man burst in and attacked him.
Gardai confirmed they are taking the allegation seriously but declined to give further details.
It is understood the assault included an unsuccessful rape attempt.
The victim described his attacker as being aged between 35 and 40.
It was the second serious incident at the same venue over the festive season.
An 18-year-old Leaving Cert student was released from Sligo General Hospital this week after an operation for serious injuries to her left eye and face when she was struck by a flying glass while leaving the same hotel venue on St Stephen’s night.
