Scuffle after club lands man in court

A drunk man who was involved in a scuffle after attending Mantra nightclub, where he was observed by gardaí to push his hand into a woman’s face, was before Castlebar District Court this week.

The court heard that on July 18 at 2.20am, Anthony Higgins, 48 Rowan Drive, Castlebar, was observed beside a fight at Kennedy Gardens where 10 to 15 people were involved. The defendant, who was intoxicated, was observed to push his hand into the face of a woman.

The defendant said that he had been at Mantra and walked over to the fight. He said that he thought the woman was going to attack him and so used his hand to push her away.

Higgins, who has no previous convictions, was directed by Judge Mary Devins to contribute €100 to Mayo Mountain Rescue.
