Customers in a popular Cork city centre restaurant were quick to intervene late on Monday night when a man with a syringe began to threaten a staff member.
It is understood that the unnamed man entered the well-known restaurant at approximately 11pm last night, when he was allegedly seen attempting to steal a phone which belonged to an employee from a table.
As members of staff attempted to move the unwanted intruder from the establishment, Cork Beo has reported that he began brandishing a syringe and subsequently shouted threats at members of the staff, including claims that he was HIV-positive.
