Gardaí have asked for help locating a teenage man who allegedly assaulted a woman as she was exercising on a popular jogging track in Cathair Luimnigh.
Gardaí said that last Wednesday, May 3, at 6:25 p.m., a woman in her 20s was jogging along the Canal Bank, Rhebogue, when she was punched in the face by a man.
“She was listening to music and enjoying the nice evening. Suddenly two Electric scooters with young males on them came up close to her at speed,” said Sergeant Ber Leetch, Henry Street Garda Station, Limerick, reports The Mirror.
“She instinctively put her hands out and brushed off one of the youths. He continued but stopped, dropped his scooter and verbally abused her as he was walking back to her. She said that she did not see them but he roared more abuse and punched her into the side of her face,” said Sgt Leetch, reports The Mirror.
“She was very shocked but had to continue on home and then she reported the assault to Gardaí. She described the youths as being between 12 and 14 years old,” reports The Mirror.
“Gardaí are looking for any witnesses who may have seen this assault near the canal entrance to Richmond Rugby Club or if anybody knows anything about these youths on E Scooters to contact Henry Street on 061 212400 or any Garda station,” said Sgt Leetch, reports The Mirror.
