Man sprayed blood on gardaí and said he had 'the virus'

A man on early release from a five-year sentence who sprayed blood from his cut hands into the faces of four gardaí after claiming he had ‘the virus’ has been jailed for a further three years by Judge Elizabeth Dunne at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Damien Carolan, aged 22, walked into Lucan garda station in April 2002 and punched the public hatch window several times until it smashed.
