The bicycle was recovered by gardaí and returned to the woman who was robbed of it.

A 50-year-old woman cycling to her cleaning job in the early hours of the morning was attacked by a young man who pushed her off her bike and punched her in the face when she was on the ground.

The young man then robbed her bicycle and cycled away on it, Detective Garda James Bugler said at Cork District Court.
