Man ‘slashed across nose and face with a knife’ during drug row

A young man was slashed across the nose and face with a knife when he tried to pay a drug debt, it was alleged at Cork District Court yesterday.

Detective Garda Aonghus Cotter objected to bail being granted to Daniel O’Brien, aged 26, who was charged with assault causing harm to a man in Carrigaline, Co Cork, on July 12.
