A report of a naked man running around Upper John Street in Cork city prompted a Garda investigation which saw officers being assaulted and obstructed by him.

Garda Molly O’Driscoll said gardaí were told the man had run into an apartment building on St John Terrace so they went to that complex and knocked at apartment doors including No 2, where Andy Ademola, aged 42, answered.
