Man charged with karate kicking woman in the head

A WOMAN driver was brutally karate-kicked in the face during what gardaí said was an unprovoked attack in Cork at the weekend.

The alleged assault occurred at a shopping centre in Glanmire where locals have raised concerns about an increasing wave of public order offences.

Gardaí in Cobh said last night that the female driver did not required hospitalisation but was traumatised by the bizarre attack.
