Two sets of handcuffs used to restrain Cork man charged over biting garda's hand
Additional garda units arrived to assist with the arrest.
A member of An Garda Síochána was bitten on the hand in “quite a shocking incident” where two sets of handcuffs had to be used on the attacker because of his volatile behaviour.
The allegations against Danny Quilligan, aged 46, were made by Sergeant Aisling Murphy at Cork District Court where Judge Mary Dorgan said it was too serious a case to be heard at district court level. It will now have to be sent back for further directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions in light of judge’s refusal to accept district court jurisdiction.
