Gardai are reviewing CCTV in connection with the assault of a woman walking home in Limerick

GARDAI in Limerick are looking for the assistance of the public in relation to an assault recently where a woman was forced to fend off a male who followed her home.

Last Thursday, a young lady was walking home on Chapel Street at 1am when she was suddenly approached by a male who attempted to engage her in conversation.

When this failed the man put his arm around the woman and tried to pull her into him.

The lady resisted and put up a fight from the forceful advances and kept walking.

Gardai say that the woman said that the man followed her for a time before he eventually gave up.
