The 24 year old had abruptly stopped using cannabis
A Kildare man who was involved in a series of car crashes while he was in the middle of an episode of psychosis has been given a four-year suspended sentence.
The Irish Times reports, Ali El Taweel (24) had abruptly stopped using cannabis, which it was accepted then led to an episode of psychosis.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that El Taweel left a car park without paying and got into a series of minor accidents across Dublin city centre, before finally crashing into a truck and a taxi on the south quays.
El Taweel, with an address at Abbey Park View, Clane, Co Kildare, pleaded guilty to two counts of endangerment at locations in Dublin city centre on April 24th, 2018.
He also pleaded guilty to driving with no insurance, criminal damage and refusing to provide a specimen of urine or blood, also at locations in Dublin city centre on the same date.
The man has no previous convictions.
