Five Youths Arrested After Public Order Incident in Virginia, Co. Cavan Gardaí have arrested and detained five youths following a major public order incident in Virginia this evening. The arrests relate to an alleged assault that occurred after 7:30pm. A significant number of Gardaí responded swiftly to incidents reported at both Lough Ramor and the Main Street of the town. An elderly man was allegedly attacked by a number of individuals. Eyewitnesses reported that he was set upon by at least four people. Several males required medical attention following the incident and were conveyed to Cavan General Hospital. The condition of the man who was allegedly assaulted is not known at this time. All five individuals are being held in Garda stations in the county tonight as the investigation continues. Gardaí remain present in the town. A Garda spokesperson confirmed tonight that several persons have been conveyed to hospital. A local business owner had earlier posted in a Virginia community Facebook group describing an attack near Virginia College involving a group alleged to include African individuals. The post referenced knife involvement and an intervention by a father who was with children. These social media accounts correspond in general location and circumstances to the reported events. This remains a developing situation. Further details will be released as the Garda investigation progresses.
