Man beaten up over child’s Man Utd jersey

A row over a child wearing a Manchester United jersey saw a man being hit in the face with a hurley, leaving him with injuries that required the insertion of two metal plates in his cheek.

Yannick Wolfe, of 33 Annalee Grove, Mayfield, Cork, appeared for sentencing at Cork Circuit Criminal Court, having pleaded guilty to a charge of assault causing harm to Kyle Corcoran on September 20, 2014, at Annalee Grove.

He wore a white Liverpool FC tracksuit top for his court appearance.
