The victim is reported to have been discovered in an unresponsive state around 3.30am.

Ulster Unionist MLA Rosemary Barton said she was shocked by news of the assault and that she wished the young man a speedy recovery.

“It is always a cause for concern with an incident of this nature occurs and I totally condemn violence of this nature,” Mrs Barton said.

Paul Blake, a SDLP councillor in Enniskillen, told the BBC it was a “worrying” time.

Cllr Blake said: “He’s in a bad way and was placed on life support and it’s obviously a terrible time for the family.”
