Man accused of threatening Brown Thomas staff in Cork with broken bottle

The court heard the defendant claims he was never at Brown Thomas or in the area immediately outside it or had any altercation with staff there on June 29

It is alleged that the man stole two bottles of fragrances with a total value of €207 from Brown Thomas.

Staff at Brown Thomas in Cork were threatened by a man who armed himself with the broken neck of a bottle outside the store, it was claimed during a bail application.

Ian O’Sullivan, who is aged around 50 and presently living at Cork Simon Community, applied for bail and denied all charges against him saying he was not there on June 29—the date of the alleged incident.
