Mother feared for life after adult son pushed her down stairs in most recent attack

Gardaí responded to a call about a domestic disturbance and found a woman holding a hurley and telling them she feared for her life because of the actions of her adult son.

The young man accused of breaching a barring order by putting his parents in fear appeared at an in camera hearing of Cork District Court today where he asked to be released on bail saying he would stay away from his parents and that it broke his heart to hear how upset they were.
