U2 Photographer Suffers Hammer Attack In Bray

Known for his work in the world of rock, photographer Colm Henry was the victim of a brutal hammer attack near his home in Bray over the weekend.

The attack happened on Friday, with the photographer later stating that he was “lucky to be alive”.

Gardaí are currently investigating the incident, with a 61-year-old local man, very, very well known to the victim, being called in for questioning.

The attack is believed to be part of an ongoing property dispute, and no arrests have been made in the case.

Having broken through internationally as the Hot Press during the rise and rise of U2, Colm Henry has photographed some of the world’s biggest artists, including David Bowie, Phil Lynott and Michael Stipe.
