A woman who allegedly threw a garden gnome at her neighbour’s head after knocking loudly on her door during the night is due to appear before Cork District Court for a full hearing of the case against her next month.
Laura Malone of St Michael’s Lawn, Mahon, in Cork appeared before the court in December 2022 when an outline of the alleged incident was given by Inspector Brendan McKenna. Ms Malone was charged with assault causing harm to the other woman.
Inspector McKenna said that the injured party alleges that the incident unfolded when she opened the door of her home in Cork at 3am on August 12, 2021. He said that the injured party was at home in bed when she heard a “loud banging” at her front door.
