Eoghan McDermott thanks Twitter for support following ASSAULT

RTÉ presenter, Eoghan McDermott, took to social media yesterday to thank his fans and followers for their support after he was the victim of an unprovoked attack earlier this week.

Updating Twitter the morning after the assault, the 33-year-old Limerick-native explained that he had required medical attention after getting knocked unconscious the previous night.

"Some coward jumped me from behind as I was walking down the road last night, got knocked unconscious," Eoghan wrote on Tuesday. "Brain scan, concussion. I'll find you!"
