Man jumped on bonnet as gardaí tried to seize car

A motorist jumped on the bonnet of his car when gardaí began to seize it for being untaxed and later he went into a violent rage.

Kieran Noonan, aged 42, of 17 Hollyville, Hollyhill, Cork, pleaded guilty yesterday at Cork District Court to public order charges including being obstructive to gardaí and being threatening and abusive.

The background to the incident was that the car was parked at David McCarthy Road, Knocknacullen, Cork, shortly before 2am on April 23, 2017.
