A man in his 20s will appear in court this morning in connection with an alleged assault in Drogheda, Co Louth.

An investigation was launched after a man in his 50s was discovered with apparent stab wounds at a residence at Knockbrack Downs around 9.30pm last night.

He was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital where his condition is described as non-life threatening.
