Two men were hospitalised following an attack outside a south Dublin pub.

The incident happened outside Eleanora’s Bar and Lounge on Drimnagh Road, Crumlin in the early hours of Sunday morning. The victims – both men aged in their 20s and 40s – were taken to St James’s Hospital for treatment.

Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. A garda spokesman said enquiries are ongoing. It comes as a man was rushed to hospital following an alleged assault in Dublin city centre.

The victim, aged in his 20s, was walking in Temple Bar when he was allegedly attacked on July 28 at around 4.10pm. He was taken to St James’s Hospital for treatment.

His injuries were non-life threatening, a garda spokesman confirmed. He added: “No arrests have been made at this time. Investigations are ongoing.”

The news comes as the Spanish Embassy has issued a advisory to citizens in Dublin warning tourists to be aware of “street fights” and “organised crime” in Dublin. In a statement to citizens, the Embassy said: “Precautions must be taken in the busiest commercial areas of the main cities, in particular in Dublin, due to the presence of pickpockets. Street fights at night are frequent in the Temple Bar and Portobello areas, and in the O’Connell Street area, Parnell Square and the vicinity of Connolly Station, all in Dublin.

“Dublin is sporadically the scene of bloody clashes between the families that control organised crime in Ireland. It is advisable to be vigilant with personal belongings in tourist areas and in very crowded ones, such as shopping centres and pubs, and avoid lonely areas as much as possible, especially at night.”

This is after the US Embassy warned American citizens to stay vigilant after New Yorker Stephen Termini was left in a coma following a brutal attack in the city centre. New Yorker Stephen Termini, 57, was hospitalised after he was viciously assaulted on the corner of Talbot Street and Store Street on July 19.
