Attackers in Cork in Ireland are using gay dating apps to lure their victims into meeting.

LGBT people in Cork have been warned to stay safe on dating apps after attackers use sites to lure victims.

Cork resident Louise O’Donnell made a Facebook post warning gay people after her friend was attacked by a date he met online, the Irish Examiner reports.
