Man shouting at gardaí began to remove his clothes

A 58-year-old man went to take off his trousers and underpants at the scene of a disturbance in Cork City when he shouted abuse at gardaí.

Eric Fitzgerald of Shaw’s Bridge, Rathpeacon, Cork, pleaded guilty to a charge of engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour likely to lead to a breach of the peace.

Inspector John Deasy said at Cork District Court yesterday that the incident occurred on May 29 at Anglesea St, Cork.
