Case No. 17653Assault · Co. Kildare

Four men accused over alleged incident at Corban's Lane, Naas

Four men, Maroud Rashid, Muhammed Masikul, Malik Hossain and Joshim Uddin, aged 28 to 32 according to reports, are accused over an alleged violent disorder and assault at Corban's Lane in Naas, Co Kildare, which gardaí say took place on 3 December 2022 around 2pm. One unnamed person allegedly sustained a concussion, and gardaí say at least one of the men had a pointed stick, while the defence says the dispute arose from a tenancy and denies the allegation about a woman. The allegations were first relayed to Judge Desmond Zaidan at Naas District Court on 16 November 2023, when he refused jurisdiction citing their serious nature, and on 4 April 2024 the defence said the men contest the allegations. The latest development is that Judge Zaidan sent the case against all four men forward to the present sittings of Naas Circuit Court, where they were remanded on continuing bail.
