A gay man from Tipperary was the victim of a homophobic attack, which Gardaí are treating as a possible hate crime.

Gearóid Lawless from Fethard and his boyfriend Anthony Nolan were attacked at a Kildare train station by a group of young men.

They were kicked and stabbed a number of times, while one of the attackers videoed the vicious assault.

Gearóid spoke on Tipp Today earlier about the unprovoked attack.
