Man jailed after he grabbed woman

A man who grabbed a woman late at night in Dublin city centre, telling her “you drank too much, bitch”, has been sentenced to three years in jail, with the final year suspended.

Chico Makamda, aged 32, grabbed Melita Cahill’s right wrist as she walked alone down Blessington St in Dublin at around 2am and tried to drag her into a laneway.

Ms Cahill managed to punch and kick him while shouting for help before breaking free from him.
