A 35-year-old man was remanded in custody on Thursday in a case where he is accused of giving a woman on crutches a “flying kick” as she was leaving hospital.

The accused man appeared at Cork District Court by video link from prison. Details of charges against him were outlined when he appeared at an in-camera sitting of the court last week.
