A disturbing incident occurred in Limerick on Saturday involving Francis Kinny, a mason, who became the victim of a heinous attack. Kinny was approached by a labourer named Carroll, who demanded a drink. When Kinny refused, Carroll allegedly launched himself at him, seizing him tightly and sinking his teeth into the flesh at the top of Kinny’s nose, causing a significant injury.

Carroll was swiftly apprehended by authorities and subsequently remanded. Meanwhile, Kinny received medical treatment for his wounds. The incident has left the community in shock and disbelief, as such acts of violence are deeply unsettling. The legal proceedings will continue as the case progresses, ensuring that justice is served for the injured party.
