A man (43) has been remanded in custody after he was charged in connection with a stabbing incident that left another man in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Romeo Bruma, a Romanian national, was brought before a special sitting of Mallow District Court on Sunday morning where he was charged in connection with an incident in Mitchelstown on Saturday.
He was charged with assault causing harm to another male at Upper Cork Street, Mitchelstown on October 11th, contrary to Section 3 of the Non Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997.
Defence solicitor Padraig O’Connell said his client was not applying for bail at this juncture and Sgt Dave Delea sought a remand in custody to appear at Mallow District Court on Tuesday.
