Headbutt on Christmas night out

A headbutt at a Christmas night out resulted in the victim having to get six stitches to a wound over his eye.

The man responsible brought €1,300 compensation to Cork District Court for the injured party. He apologised and said through his solicitor that he had no recollection of what he had done.

Eoin Fleming, aged 34, of 3 Willowdale, Cross Douglas Rd, Cork, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Alan Daly at East Village bar in Douglas on December 12, 2013. Insp Brian O’Donovan said the parties were in the pub when Fleming headbutted the injured party.
