A man who was found beaten unconscious in a laneway in Dublin city yesterday afternoon had to undergo emergency surgery for a bleed on the brain.

The 39-year-old victim had head and facial injuries consistent with a brutal assault.

He was taken by ambulance to Beaumont Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. He was later transferred to St Vincent’s Hospital where he was described as being in a serious but stable condition.
