Man accused of assaulting ‘good Samaritan’ in North Kildare

Ciaran Mather, 24 May

A defendant who appeared before Naas District Court on Thursday, May

18, via video-link has been accused of assaulting 'a good Samaritan.'

The allegation relates to one Zack Pitt, with an address listed as 86

Brayton Park in Kilcock, but who is currently serving a custodial

sentence for other offences.

Judge Desmond Zaidan was told by gardaí that the 23-year-old had

allegedly been involved in an argument with his girlfriend at

Accommodation Road in Leixlip on the evening of April 30, 2021.

When another man came to her aid, Mr Pitt allegedly assaulted him.

The alleged assault caused him to suffer bleeding and bruising to his

face, gardaí claimed.

A photograph of the injuries sustained by the man, which gardaí alleged

was caused by Mr Pitt, was shown to Judge Zaidan.

After viewing the photograph, Judge Zaidan remarked: "It shows how

dangerous it can be to get involved (in an argument)."

The judge accepted jurisdiction over the case and adjourned it to June

15 for hearing.
