Gardaí add two new charges against man in custody over alleged pensioner assault

A man in custody for an alleged assault on a pensioner has received two new charges arising out of the same incident and offered apologies when they were put to him by gardaí.

Jonathan O’Driscoll has been in custody since March in connection with the assault on Christy O’Callaghan which left the 73-year-old critically ill in hospital.
