Cork men avoid jail over assaults after ‘all hell broke loose’

All hell broke loose when two men returned from a spin in a tuk-tuk tricycle taxi to find their women partners in a row with some young men — and fists flew in all directions. A golf club, a hurley and a nail bar were allegedly “in the mix”.

The scenario was described at Cork District Court yesterday in relation to an incident on Tuckey St in Cork.

Insp Fergal Foley said that all charges of producing weapons were withdrawn by the State.
