Protestor's hands 'were round my neck', garda tells court

A garda has told a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury that he was not aware of any garda coming to his assistance when a protester had him by the neck at the "Reclaim the Streets" protest in 2002.

Detective Garda Kieran Barry was giving evidence on day six of the trial of Garda Paul Tallon who is accused of assaulting Mr Fergal Leddy (aged 35) on May 6, 2002.
