Brothers accused of fighting with machete and knife amid Cork's Christmas shoppers

Both brothers were remanded in custody to appear by video link at Cork District Court on December 21.

Children and passers-by fled for safety on a busy suburban square in Cork city as men fought each other with a knife and machete on a Saturday afternoon.

This was the main allegation made by Detective Garda Ronan McGuckian at Cork District Court today as he objected to bail being granted to two brothers.
