Man stalked and assaulted woman on her 19th birthday, court hears
A Bandon woman walking home alone from her 19th birthday celebrations was violently attacked by a man who stalked her first and later told her she would get an arrow in the back of her head if she screamed.
“She should be able to walk through the streets of Bandon on her birthday,” Judge Helen Boyle said as she sentenced Daniel Szymczyk, 24, to four years in jail with the last year suspended at Cork Circuit Criminal Court yesterday.
