Two charges of endangering life were brought on Thursday against a 35-year-old man accused of ramming garda cars in Cork when his partner and six children were in his van.

Garda Paul Dromey formally arrested the accused man — who was previously charged with other counts arising out of the alleged rampage — and charged him with two counts of endangerment, one of assault his partner and a fourth count of dangerous driving.
