Man who smeared his ‘thick as syrup’ blood on garda’s face gets 11 months

Disturbing evidence was given in court of thick blood being smeared onto a garda’s face as a man was jailed for 11 months.

Aaron Wolfe, who turns 24 today, was jailed for one month short of the maximum, in the district court, on a charge of assault causing harm.

Judge Olann Kelleher described Wolfe’s attack as vicious and cowardly and one that had a very serious effect on the victim, who will continue to suffer.
