Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to a serious assault in Dublin overnight to come forward.
Emergency services were called to the scene on Anne Street South, just off Grafton Street, shortly after half 1 this morning.
A man in his 20s was left seriously injured during an incident involving a number of men.
He was taken by ambulance to St. James' Hospital, but has since been transferred to Beaumont Hospital, where his condition is said to be critical but stable.
The scene remains sealed off this morning for an examination by Gardaí, and local enquires are ongoing.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident - especially those with camera footage - is asked to contact Pearse Street Garda Station or the Garda Confidential Line.
