The man was arrested on Wednesday morning and is currently being detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at a garda station in Cork city.<\/p>\n

In the immediate aftermath of the assault, the man returned to the apartment he shared with his wife and young child at Camden Court on Carroll\u2019s Quay, where his wife raised the alarm.<\/p>\n
