Homeless man released after bid to get arrested

A case of a homeless Polish man causing a disturbance in the Bridewell Garda Station, Cork, just to get arrested in order to get off the streets ended yesterday.

It began on September 9 when 27-year-old Borris Sztukiewicz, of no fixed address, walked into the Bridewell and then ran towards the cell area, which is off-limits to the public.

Inspector Bill Duane said at Cork District Court yesterday that Sztukiewicz had to be held on the floor for several minutes. He told gardaí he wanted to break something.
