• Conviction deferred after guilty plea in Dublin hostel assault Assault causing harm · Co. Dublin

  Paul Behan, 47, punched a 52-year-old man in the head while he lay on his bed at a Simon Community hostel on Harcourt Street, Dublin, on 13 March 2020, and kicked him in the head when the victim went downstairs to report it, causing a brief loss of consciousness, bruises over the left ear, and a cut over the right eye. Behan fled before gardaí arrived and was arrested six days later by Garda Natasha Reid. He pleaded guilty to assault causing harm on 2 December 2021. Judge John Lindsay deferred conviction pending Behan paying €300 compensation to the victim in January.
