Punter trying to be 'Good Samaritan' jailed for unprovoked glass attack in Cork pub 

The accused admitted the out-of-the-blue assault on a stranger.

An unprovoked attack by a 22-year-old man who assaulted a man in the neck with a glass in a pub in Carrigaline on Christmas Eve resulted in him being sentenced to 15 months in jail.

Judge James McCourt said the attack was completely unprovoked and that even if the accused believed he was in some way acting as a good Samaritan, he went way too far.
