Kilkenny Gardaí are looking for witnesses to an assault which took place on Saturday night.
A man was walking home along the Canal Walk in Kilkenny City between 10 and 11 o’clock at night when he was approached by a man who asked him for a cigarette.
When he told him he didn’t have one, he was then attacked and had to be hospitalised.
Garda Aodhán McHugh told KCLR today that they’re looking for anyone who thinks they might know something about this to contact them.
