Man stabbed in leg in row over Xanax

A man who could not control his impulse to take prescription relaxants ended up stabbing a man twice in the leg as he went to buy them on the street in Cork City, it was alleged yesterday.

Detective Garda Colin Greenway objected to bail being granted to Joseph McGoey, aged 23, of St Thomas Terrace, Dungarvan, Co Waterford, who is charged with assault causing harm to the other man at Parnell Place on Monday, July 2.

Det Greenway said a knife was recovered at the scene and the alleged incident was captured on CCTV.
