A FEMALE tourist who had just arrived in Dublin was left bruised and bleeding after a man punched her in the face without warning in a gender-targeted daylight attack on Friday and “calmly” walked away, a court heard.

Kevin Kletzander, 33, who allegedly “showed no remorse”, was charged with assault causing harm to the woman, who fears she will be left scarred, following the incident on Dame Street in the city centre south side at 11.30am on Friday.

The accused, who resides in a Dublin 8 hostel and has a history of mental illness, was refused bail by Judge Catherine Ghent at Dublin District Court on Saturday.
