A man alleged to have held a co-worker in a headlock until he lost consciousness has been refused bail after a court heard he may have been planning to leave the country.

Filip Lukic, a 26-year-old Croatian national who has been working in the Ballydesmond factory run by Munster Joinery, is alleged to have caused the injuries which left his co-worker, Kyle Walsh, in the high dependency unit of Cork University Hospital.
