Fined for assault on man out walking dogs

A man out walking dogs was attacked from behind by his partner’s ex-boyfriend, who warned him to stay away from her.

That was the allegation at the centre of a disputed case at Cork District Court yesterday.

Mark Callanan, aged 25, of 250 Connolly Rd, Ballyphehane, Cork, pleaded not guilty to assaulting Richard Murphy at Vicars Rd, Cork, on February 17, 2016.
