Drunk man stuffed two fingers up garda’s nose

A garda had two fingers stuffed up his nose as he was caught in a headlock by a motorist who parked his car blocking a side street off Cork city centre.

East Cork farmer, Denis O’Mahoney, aged 35, of Ballycondon, Lackaroe, Youghal, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to assault and other charges at Cork District Court yesterday.

Inspector Eileen Foster said at 3.30am on May 10, 2015, gardaí observed the car causing a blockage at the junction of Patrick St and St Peter’s and St Paul’s St.
