Dublin Man Who Claimed To Be British Army Captain Faces Psychiatric Assessment Following Knife Threats In The Capital

Oisin Peavoy (38), Granby Row, Dublin 1, was remanded in custody last week after a judge said he was a "danger to the public in his present state".

A psychiatric assessment has been ordered for a man who threatened a woman, her baby and two busloads of children while armed with a knife in Dublin.

Oisin Peavoy (38), Granby Row, Dublin 1, was remanded in custody last week after a judge said he was a "danger to the public in his present state".

He faces four charges, including for weapons offences, after two incidents of threatening behaviour on Parnell Street and Gardiner Street on Tuesday May 28th.

Speaking to Judge Alan Mitchell via video link today, he insisted he had a different name, was representing himself and that he was a captain in the British army.

Judge Mitchell asked for a short psychiatric report on Mr Peavoy to address his fitness to plead and remanded him in continuing custody to appear again on June 19th.
