A 47-year-old man punched and injured in an attack in Falcarragh is fighting for his life in a Dublin hospital.
Patsy McLaughlin was hit once outside a bar in the town in the early hours of yesterday.
He was taken to Letterkenny General Hospital before being transferred to the Beaumont Hospital where he is in a “critical” condition.
It’s understood Gardai have obtained CCTV footage of the incident.
