Man facing assault charges against woman allegedly said 'I will kill you now or I will kill you in 10 years' time'

A woman was followed by a young man who waited outside a building for her for up to three hours before assaulting her and threatening to kill her, it has been alleged.

Detective Garda Brian Murphy said the young woman was assaulted and threatened on Cathedral Road, Cork, on Monday night and that it was only with the intervention of a passer-by that the alleged incident was brought to an end. Another member of the public video-recorded the incident on his mobile phone.
