Man 'left in pool of his own blood after head stamped on in Dublin city centre attack'

Dean Brannigan, 24, is facing charges for a violent assault on a man in Dublin's city center. The attack occurred on Henry Street and was witnessed by passersby, prompting them to alert police. Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim severely injured, covered in blood, and in distress. CCTV footage showed Brannigan's brutal attack. He was arrested shortly afterward, identifiable by bloodied clothes. Despite his arrest and the evidence against him, Brannigan has made no comments. The case remains pending further directions from the DPP while the victim remains hospitalized.

The garda stated that Brannigan was 'clearly the aggressor in an unprovoked assault on the injured party,' emphasizing the vulnerability of the victim.

Witnesses reported the incident, leading to Brannigan's arrest shortly after, where he was found with blood-stained clothing, bolstering suspicions of his guilt.
