A woman in her 20s was seriously assaulted at the popular Moore Abbey Wood walking trail and recreation site in Monasterevin, Co Kildare, last Sunday afternoon, July 17.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the assault, in which the woman received serious, but non-life threatening injuries. She was taken to hospital for treatment.
The incident took place at the forest recreation area, which is located on the Kildangan Road, just outside of Monasterevin town.
Gardaí are following a line of inquiry in relation to the assault. It is understood that the victim was assaulted by a person known to her, and that the incident is not a case of a random attack.

Gardaí would particularly like to speak with two women who assisted the injured party.
