Security man said he heard laughter as he chased two men, court told

A security man heard laughter as he chased two young men who fled from where a Polish woman was struck across the back of the head with a Budweiser bottle.

Colin O’Sullivan, aged 20, of 19 Highfield Crescent, Kanturk, Co Cork, denied laughing as he ran from the scene and previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault causing harm to Ewezina Oprawska at Grenville Place, Cork, on Dec 3, 2011.

Jane Hyland, prosecuting, told Cork Circuit Criminal Court that it was clear from Mr O’Sullivan’s own answers to Garda questions a month later he had been involved in a joint enterprise with another man.
