Two gardaí ‘assaulted by teen in domestic incident’

Two members of An Garda Siochána dealing with a domestic disturbance were assaulted by a teenager, with one officer knocked to the ground and the teen’s legs wrapped around her neck.

This evidence was given by Inspector Ronan Kenneally at Cork District Court yesterday.

Jonathan Carmody, aged 19, of 7 Deanvale, Togher, Cork, pleaded guilty to assaulting Garda Orla Leahy and Garda Donal O’Connell. He also admitted being drunk and a source of danger to himself or others, being threatening and abusive and obstructing Gda O’Connell.
