The defendant has been charged with assault causing harm.
A 38-year-old man who allegedly attacked a doorman at a local bar has appeared in court.
James Halligan, of Gracedieu Heights, Waterford, is believed to have committed the assault in February of this year.
It is understood that after being refused entry to a popular venue in the Apple Market, Halligan struck the doorman on the lip using his forehead, and grappled with him on the ground.
He was identified by gardaí via CCTV footage.
He has been charged with assault causing harm, contrary to the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act.
Judge Catriona Murray accepted jurisdiction to Waterford District Court last week.
