Attacks on Women in Dublin in September 2010 and September 2011

The Gardaí at the Bridewell Garda Station and Clondalkin Garda Station have carried out extensive investigations in relation to both assaults and as a result of these investigations, they now have a forensic link between the two incidents.

 
On the 18th September 2010 a woman was sexually assaulted in the grounds of an apartment complex on Arran Quay, Dublin 7.  The woman had been out for the night and was returning home to her apartment when a man came up behind her, dragged her to the ground and sexually assaulted her. 

One year later, on the 11th September 2011 another young woman was assaulted.  This assault took place in Monastery Walk in Clondalkin, Dublin.  The young woman was on her way home from an evening out with friends, when a man came up behind her and threw her onto the ground.  He attacked her, causing significant injuries to her face. S he struggled against him and managed to get away.
