Penny Dinners worker hit man over head with bottle

A worker at Cork Penny Dinners slapped a visitor over the back of the head with a bottle, but the culprit accepted yesterday that his reasons for the attack were 100% wrong and mistaken.

John Rooney, aged 52, hit the man over the back of the head causing him injuries which required his attendance at hospital, where he had to receive stitches.

Garda Lorna Healy investigated the assault which occurred on February 19 and interviewed John Rooney of the Simon community in Cork about the assault.
