Man headbutted Garda car window until it broke

A Cork man who had been placed under arrest subsequently used his head to escape from a Garda patrol car.

He was jailed for 15 months yesterday.

Inspector Pat Meaney told Cork District Court that Gavin Ring, of 60 Blarney St, was arrested on May 1 at 10.30pm. This followed gardaí having observed Ring throwing a flick-knife over a 15ft-high wall.
