TRALEE Gardaí have begun an investigation into an alleged assault incident where a woman was pricked by a needle.
The woman became disorientated after the incident and it is believed a drug was possibly administered to the alleged victim via the needle.

Gardai are appealing to any victims of similar incidents to report them. There had been reports last month, from students attending Munster Technological University, about alleged spiking incidents at a Tralee location when out socialising.
The reports resulted in the Students Union at MTU launching a campaign highlighting the dangers of drink spiking.
