A 36-year-old man has appeared in court charged with dangerous driving after a person was knocked down during an anti-immigration protest in Dublin last night.
Stephen Bedford, who lives in the Watergate House homeless hostel, told the court he was not trying to injure anyone but was in fear and was trying to get away from the protest.
Judge Bryan Smith remanded Mr Bedford on bail to appear again at the Dublin District Court next month. The 36-year-old took the stand and said he was"trying to inform people" about those organising the demonstrations.A person was taken to hospital for treatment following the incident. He said he got into his car and drove what he thought was the other way of the protesters and believed he was moving away when he encountered them.
