Shopping centre attacker did not use knife

Gardaí are now satisfied that a knife was not produced during an assault on a late-night cinema goer in Mahon Point shopping centre in Cork on Friday night.

Sources confirmed yesterday that following a detailed review of CCTV footage, there is no evidence to suggest the suspect brandished a knife.

A man, who had been at a late-night screening, was confronted by a lone man in one of the shopping centre aisles a short time after leaving the cinema complex.
