Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after two separate assaults on young men in Offaly and Wicklow early this morning.
At around one o'clock this morning emergency services were called to McAuley Drive in Birr, County Offaly.
There they found a man in his mid 20's, who'd apparently suffered stab wounds.
He was taken to hospital, while another man in his 20s was arrested.
Gardaí now say they need to hear from witnesses to find out what happened.
Just a short time later – at a quarter to 2 this morning – a young man was found after an apparent assault outside a house in James Everett Park in Bray.
Another man in his 20s was arrested – the victim's since been taken to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin where his condition is described as critical.
Witnesses are also being sought in relation to this incident.
