Teen bit flesh from man’s cheek

John Horgan, of 5 Foxford Avenue, Melbourne, Bishopstown, Cork, pleaded guilty, at Cork Circuit Criminal Court, to a charge of assault causing harm. He received a two-year suspended jail term.
Judge Brian O’Callaghan said to Horgan: “Clearly both of you knew each other before this incident. Clearly there were circumstances between you both which resulted in the injured party attacking you and you fighting back, but doing so on a totally disproportionate level by biting and causing that injury.
