Galway Gardaí are asking motorists who may have seen an alleged assault in the city last weekend to contact them.

A 23-year-old man from the county appeared in court charged with the alleged rape of a woman at Bohermore in the early hours of last Saturday, October 16th.

The alleged incident happened at Water Lane around 3a.m and it’s understood the woman was taken to University Hospital Galway.

Gardaí arrested the man at the Headford road shortly after the alleged assault.

He was remanded in custody and will appear at Harristown Court this Friday [22/10] charged with rape.

Gardaí say that a number of cars passed the area around the time of the alleged assault and also while Gardaí were arresting the man.
