Spanish assault victim ‘has no intention of leaving the country’

A Spaniard who had 21 staples inserted in a head wound after a vicious and unprovoked attack by a gang of youths in Cork has said he has no intention of leaving this country.

And Jordi Roca, a 39-year-old delicatessen employee, said he still “loves Irish people”.

He was on his way home from a party with four friends when he was attacked by the gang in Cork City at around 10pm on Monday.
