A 46-year-old man has been charged after four people, including a garda sergeant, were stabbed outside a pub in County Donegal.
John Boyle (46), from Lek Cottages in Letterkenny, appeared before Mullingar District Court charged with four counts of assault and causing harm to four men, including the garda sergeant.
Garda Sergeant Eunan Walsh said Boyle, who is also charged with possession of a knife, made no reply after the charge.
The three other men were bouncers at a nightclub where the alleged incident took place. The three received treatment at Letterkenny General Hospital and have since been released. The garda sergeant, who was stabbed in the hand, was taken to hospital with injuries that are not life threatening.
He was released on bail to appear at Letterkenny District Court on September 15. Judge William Hamill was told that there may be additional charges in the case.
