A judge has desisted from imposing a sentence upon a man who attacked and bit a garda who had driven him back to his house after finding him lying in his own vomit on the side of the road. Judge Melanie Greally previously imposed an indicative sentence of two years imprisonment and deferred the sentence until April 1. Gda Dalton raised his arm to shield himself and was bitten by the accused on the hand. Halpin, however, managed to free himself and bit Gda Dalton on the knee. Gda Dalton suffered a fracture to a bone in his hand along with the two bites and an injury to his groin.
