A second man has been charged with assault causing harm to two off-duty gardaí in Temple Bar in Dublin city centre last weekend.
Kevin Murphy, 34, with an address at North Frederick Street in Dublin, was also accused of robbing one man of his phone and wallet.
He appeared before Judge Paula Murphy at Dublin District Court this morning.
Detective Sergeant Paul Traynor told the court that Mr Murphy was charged yesterday evening and "made no reply" when the offences were put to him.
Detective Sergeant Traynor confirmed that he needed to obtain directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Mr Murphy's defence solicitor, Peter Connolly, said there was no application for bail at this stage, and he was reserving his position.
Judge Murphy remanded the accused in custody to appear again on Monday at the same court.
She said he was a suitable candidate for legal aid, which was granted.
She also directed that he get an appropriate medical assessment in custody.
Both of the off-duty gardaí were injured in the incident in the early hours of Saturday morning.
One of them, a man in his 40s, is in a critical condition in Beaumont Hospital.
The second victim was taken to St James's Hospital for treatment and was subsequently discharged.
He was remanded in custody to appear in court again tomorrow.
