A woman in a wheelchair was put in fear by a drunken man who decided to push her across the road and around the streets in Cork City, but now he is tending to his drink problem. 

Defence solicitor, Joseph Cuddigan, confirmed today that the accused man continued to remain free of alcohol at St. Helen’s in Blarney and was about to undergo treatment at Tabor Lodge.
