Man held for stripping in court

A Polish man who was unable to keep his clothes on yesterday at Cork District Court was remanded in custody for a week for a psychiatric assessment.

When Borris Sztukiewicz was brought from the holding cell into Courtroom 1, where the court was in session, he pulled down his jeans and underpants.

He was about to pull off his sweatshirt too when a number of gardaí overpowered him and brought him to the floor, put his clothes back on, and escorted him from the court.
