Gardai are hunting a lone attacker after a woman was beaten up while walking her dog along one of Ireland’s most historical sites.
The brutal assailant jumped on the woman from behind, pulled her hair, pushed her and beat her up as she went for an early morning stroll along the Battle of the Boyne boardwalk outside Drogheda in Co Louth.
The boardwalk, which runs for a couple of miles from Drogheda to Oldbridge House, is a popular route for walkers and joggers every day.
