Woman ‘hospitalised after being stabbed by partner’

A book of evidence was served yesterday on a man accused of assaulting his partner where it was alleged that she sustained potentially life-threatening stab injuries for which she was hospitalised for three weeks.

Brian O’Regan, aged 43, formerly of flat 1, 2 St Joseph’s Villas, Blackrock Road, Cork, appeared at Cork District Court yesterday and Sergeant John Kelleher confirmed service of the book.
