Man charged over Cavan incident

No injuries reported. Man appears in court.

A man has appeared before court following a serious incident in Cavan Town late on Friday afternoon.

The man, aged in his 20's, was arrested on Friday, December 15, for alleged possession of an offensive weapon- specifically a knife- the Celt understands.

Gardaí attended the scene quickly and detained the man after being alerted to the incident by concerned members of the public.

Details of the alleged incident were confirmed to The Anglo-Celt by An Garda Siochana this evening, Saturday, December 16. The male arrested appeared before a judge at the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin earlier in the day.

A garda spokesperson confirmed: "Gardaí arrested a man, aged in his 20s, for possession of an offensive weapon in Cavan Town yesterday, 15th December 2023."

They added that "no injuries were reported" following Friday's incident."

"This man has been charged and appeared before the CCJ Dublin this morning, 16th December 2023."
