Cork man told gardai to 'get the f*** out' of their patrol car’

A man accused of approaching a Garda patrol vehicle and telling gardaí to “get the f*** out of the car” will appear in court again on February 3 by video link from prison.

Judge Mary Dorgan adjourned the case to Cork District Court to fix a date for a hearing.

The alleged circumstances were previously outlined by Sergeant Gearóid Davis.

Garda Paraic White responded to a call to Mill Park, Mallow Rd, Cork, at around 10.30pm on October 8, 2025.

“Gardaí arrived at the scene and parked their patrol car in front of a house at Mill Park. Dean Oosterloo open the door of the property and walked aggressively towards the patrol car.

“He was repeatedly shouting in a threatening manner at the patrol car, ‘Get the f*** out of the car.’ 

Gardai were repeatedly instructing him to drop an item he was holding in his left hand.

“Dean Gosterloo returned to the front door of his home. When Dean Oosterloo turned, gardaí saw that it was a knife he was holding; holding the knife backwards, with the blade end of the knife being tucked up inside his sleeve.

“He turned around before he reached the door, and walked in a fast and aggressive manner towards the patrol car. He was again shouting, ‘Get the f*** out of the car’. As he approached the car, he was pepper-sprayed.

“He retreated into the house, still carrying the knife… He re-emerged, shouting aggressively and ran towards gardaí, when pepper spray was used on him again… He was arrested in possession of the knife,” Sgt Davis alleged.

Diarmuid Kelleher, solicitor, said the defendant would be contesting this and other cases against him.
