CRIME: Man charged with two counts of assault in Kilkenny
An Garda Síochana have commended the actions of two Kilkenny people
A man has been arrested after being charged on two accounts of assault and two further public order charges following an incident in Kilkenny City on Saturday.
The incident was highlighted to gardaí by a member of the public while they were on duty.
"The person explained that she and her partner had witnessed an assault a short distance away and pointed out the suspect," a garda spokesperson said.
"Her partner meanwhile had headed for the station with two individuals who had allegedly been struck by the suspect," they added.
"Gardai arrested an intoxicated male at scene and after statements were taken, the suspect was charged to appear before Kilkenny District Court and is facing two charges of assault and two public order charges.
"The couple who were simply on a night out made it their business to ensure that victims of crime were looked after and helped and that the person unknown to either of the victims who had targeted them was identified to us. BRAVO."
