Neighbours threatened with knife after slagging got out of hand

Slagging between neighbouring apartment dwellers got so out of hand that one of the young men came out of his home with a large butcher’s knife to threaten two others.

The accused pleaded guilty to producing a machete-type knife and causing fear at a house in St Luke’s in Cork.

Mohamed Ramdani, aged 24, of 4 Egerton Villas, St Luke’s, Cork, faced sentencing yesterday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on the charge of producing the machete-style knife at the house on August 17, 2017.
