Dad avoids jail for headbutting man while dressed as Superman in row over a bible

Denis Ward was dressed as Superman and had been with a woman dressed as Wonder Woman on the night of the incident.

A father-of-one who was dressed as Superman when he headbutted a man at a nightclub on Halloween night has been given a two-year suspended sentence.

Denis Ward (aged 39) later told gardaí he had no recollection of the assault but accepted “I took the book off him and went for him” after he was shown CCTV footage from the nightclub showing him taking a pretend bible off the victim before he lunged at him.
