Ireland Man refused bail over alleged ramming of ex-partner's car and assaults
A man in his 30s, described as a father in Dublin, is accused of criminal damage, assault causing harm and breach of a protection order against his former partner, in County Dublin. Gardaí allege he carried out a vicious attack on the former partner's sister about two weeks before the alleged ramming, and the former partner took out a protection order a day after that earlier incident. It is alleged he rode a motorbike and repeatedly rammed her car as she was taking the children to preschool, and that he spat at and punched her, causing an injury that required surgery. At his first bail hearing at Dublin District Court, reported on 31 August 2024, he was refused bail to prevent a further offence, he has yet to enter a plea, and he is due to appear again the following week.
