The court previously heard the accused allegedly turned up at the house of his partner, in breach of a barring order she had obtained.

The man was allegedly aggressive and insulting towards her, and then was allegedly aggressive towards gardaí when they arrived at the scene.

He’s alleged to have headbutted the rear left window of the garda patrol car, smashing it, and then stumbling onto a garda, and injuring the garda in the process.
