Bail denied for man accused of fracturing cheekbone

A man accused of fracturing a woman’s cheekbone has been remanded in custody.

Prosecuting Garda Insp Brian O’Donovan said a one-week adjournment was required to allow time for directions from the DPP in the case of David Ross, aged 27, at Cork District Court. Judge Olann Kelleher remanded Mr Ross in custody until May 4.

In his bail application previously, the accused denied the allegation by Det Garda John Gleeson that he appeared at an upstairs window of a house armed with a petrol canister and later barricaded himself into a room.
