A Kilmichael man, with the last year of his three-year jail term suspended for dragging a teenage girl into a building and assaulting her, had that last year activated yesterday for becoming aggressive with the probation service.

A man claimed he was concerned about a suspicious white van in Macroom and this was why he grabbed a 16-year-old girl and dragged her into a building.

A voluntary patient at a psychiatric unit who was coming off drugs threatened to stab a nurse who challenged him for allegedly trying to supply drugs to another patient.

A 26-year-old man was charged with a count of assault causing harm following the investigation into the body of a homeless man found dumped in a refuse chute in Cork earlier this month.
