Case No. 19182Assault causing harm · Co. Kildare · 30 Aug 2023

Bail granted for man accused of stabbing another man in Newbridge

Gardaí allege a man in his 20s, a Kildare resident, stabbed another man in the shoulder at Dara Park in Newbridge on August 30, 2023, after producing a sharp weapon. The alleged injured party later identified him as the attacker, and he was charged with assault causing harm and issuing threats. He also faces separate allegations of threats and criminal damage at a Kildare property a few days later. At Naas District Court on Thursday, November 9, 2023, a garda objected to bail, but the judge granted it on a €1,000 bond and adjourned the case to April 2024, when DPP directions are expected.
