Drunk threw packet of biscuits and bottle of orange at Cork shopkeeper 

Accused overreacted when asked to leave a Spar store, court told

A 32-year-old drunken man overreacted to being asked to leave a Spar store because of his condition and he threw a packet of biscuits at the shopkeeper.

Matters got worse when he picked up another item — a 1.25 litre bottle of orange — which he threw with force, striking the shopkeeper in the back with the missile.
