A member of An Garda Síochána was bitten on the wrist by a 32-year-old man being arrested in Glanmire, Cork, and on Wednesday, sentencing was put back for compensation and the possibility of restorative justice. Judge Mary Dorgan adjourned sentencing on the charge of assault causing harm, contrary to the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act until October 8 for a probation report to address the possibility of a community service order and restorative justice.

'On March 17, Garda Allie Mullins O'Keeffe and Garda Eric Stafford were on mobile patrol in Riverstown, Glanmire when Robert McCann of Meadowbrook, was observed. 'He was in in the middle of the road and stumbling as he attempted to walk. On viewing gardaí, he gestured with his middle finger towards them and told Garda Mullins O'Keeffe to f*** off. 'Garda Mullins O'Keeffe exited the patrol vehicle and requested him to move to the footpath. As she approached him he attempted to run away. 'He was apprehended 100m down the road. He was arrested at 8.50pm for being intoxicated to such an extent that he was a danger to himself or others at School Terrace, Riverstown, and for threatening behaviour. 'In the course of effecting the arrest of Robert McCann, he resisted and bit Garda Eric Stafford on the wrist, breaking the skin. He was conveyed to Mayfield Garda Station,' Sgt Dineen said. The 32-year-old is charged with assault causing harm to Garda Stafford, obstruction, engaging in threatening behaviour and being drunk and a danger.
