Part of garda’s lip ‘ripped off’ during unprovoked assault

A 27-year-old Ennis man “behaved like a mad man” when carrying out a late night, unprovoked and serious assault on an off-duty Garda.

At Ennis District Court yesterday, Judge Aeneas McCarthy convicted Roy Mounsey, of Castlerock, Ennis, of the assault causing harm of Garda Shane Flanagan at Mounsey’s rented home in the early hours of May 31, 2015.

In evidence yesterday, Garda Flanagan said that Mounsey “behaved like a mad man” when carrying out the unprovoked assault.
