New Ross, Woman in stable condition
A 25-year-old woman is recovering in hospital after she was attacked and stabbed while working in a clothes shop in New Ross in Co Wexford earlier today.
At around 2.15 this afternoon, a bearded man in a red jacket and jeans went into Whispers boutique in New Ross and reportedly locked the door on the inside.
He allegedly then demanded the takings from the till from the assistant, who was the only person in the shop.
Gardaí say he then pushed her to the back of the shop and stabbed her a number of times before fleeing on foot.
The woman was rushed to Waterford Regional Hospital where her condition is described as serious but stable.
Gardaí in New Ross say the man was not known to the woman but was seen around the town for a number of hours this morning.
The gardaí are appealing for anyone with any information to contact them.
