A man has appeared in court accused of slashing another man’s face with a knife in Tralee.
36-year-old David Tyler, with an address of 11 Harbour View, Portmagee, was refused bail at a sitting of Listowel District Court this morning by Judge John King.
He faces two charges arising from one incident in Tralee this week.
Mr Tyler is accused of striking another man in the face with a cutlery knife at Bridge Street in Tralee town centre on Wednesday, causing a laceration to the man’s chin.
He is charged with assault causing harm, and production of a knife in the course of a fight.
He appeared before Judge John King in Listowel District Court this morning, where evidence of arrest, charge and caution was provided by Garda John Coffey.
Solicitor Eimear Griffin from the office of Pádraig O’Connell, applied for bail for Mr Tyler, but the state objected.
Ms Griffin said her client is engaging in mental health and addiction services and would adhere to any bail conditions to continue to engage with both.
Bail was refused on the seriousness of the alleged offending, and the risk of further offending.
Legal aid was granted.
Mr Tyler was remanded in custody to appear again at Tralee District Court next Wednesday, September 17th.
