He later returned in disguise armed with a hammer and struck the security man on the forearm and hand. McCarthy was identified and arrested some time later, and he pleaded guilty to two charges of assault causing harm and one charge of assault. At Dublin Circuit Criminal Court he was sentenced to 240 hours of community service in lieu of a two-year sentence, with two years to complete it, and the sentencing was reported in May 2026.
