Man in court after feud related attack

A man has appeared at Limerick District court today charged in relation to an incident which occurred on Monday night.

The man from Moyross is charged with criminal damage after it is alleged that he stopped the car he was travelling in on the island road that night and approached another car which was occupied by two women.

It is then alleged that he repeatedly hit the windscreen and driver window with a baseball bat while shouting threats at the women inside.

Local radio reports that the man who is 21 is charged with causing €300 worth of damage in the attack.

Meanwhile outside the courthouse, Gardai apparently prevented a possible related gang fight when two groups squared up to each other.

The man will appear again next week.
