Somalian man sentenced for Wicklow assault

A Somalia national resident in Wicklow who attacked the arthritic father of his ex-partner after kicking-in his front door has been given a two year suspended sentence by Judge Desmond Hogan.

Ally Othman (aged 43) of Lower Dargle Road, Bray assaulted the victim in front of the man’s wife and their grandchildren. He hit him four times causing his face to bleed and smeared the blood all over his face after putting a foot across his chest and throwing him against the stairs.
