A motorist was stabbed after he tried to stop a gang of youths from throwing rocks at his car.

The man, who is in his 30s, was set upon by up to half a dozen teens when he approached a group who pelted his car with stones as he was driving down Corbally Road in Limerick.

During the confrontation, which happened shortly after 9:20 pm last Saturday, the man was stabbed in the back, possibly while he was walking away.

Following the attack, the youths fled the scene and the man managed to get into his vehicle and alert Gardaí.
