A man is due in court this morning charged in connection with an incident in which a woman was stabbed in Cork on Wednesday night.
The victim, who is in her 20s, was attacked and stabbed by a man who had been sitting in a Jeep on Churchyard Lane, Ballinlough, close to Cork Constitution Rugby Club.
The suspect was tackled by two men who happened to be in the area at the time.
The men managed to take the knife from the attacker and pinned him down until gardaí arrived within minutes of being called.
Sources say their intervention saved the woman from being killed.
The woman, who is known to the man, sustained a number of stab wounds and was transferred to CUH by members of the National Ambulance Service.
The man, who was subsequently arrested, has since been charged with a number of offences and is due in court later today.
