Gardaí investigating separate assault incidents on two teenage boys in Clonmel that happened on the same day, have appealed to the public for help in tracing the culprits.
A 15-year-old boy was assaulted by a male at St Patrick’s Road, Clonmel as he walked home from school between 4pm and 4.30pm on Tuesday, November 10. He suffered concussion and required medical treatment.
A Garda spokesperson said his attacker escaped by running across St Patrick’s Cemetery car park. He was approximately 5 feet six inches in height with blonde hair and wore dark clothing.
Meanwhile, a 16-year-old boy was also assaulted by a male unknown to him as he walked by Dunnes Stores Shopping Centre at Oakville shortly before 1pm on the same day. He suffered a swollen eye.
