Elderly shoppers and a wheelchair user with special needs had to take cover as bottles of wine flew through the air in a mid-morning battle at a shopping centre.

Wheelchair users and elderly people were caught up in the crossfire at a busy Ennis shopping centre as bottles of wine flew through the air, a court has heard.

TWO men charged with damaging the door of a house in Ennis had gone there to sort out a matter under boxing rules laid down in 1869, a court was told yesterday.
