Speaking to Judge Alan Mitchell via video link, he insisted he had a different name, was representing himself and that he was a captain in the British army.
Oisin Peavoy, 38, with an address Granby Row, Dublin 1, was initially remanded in custody last week after a judge held he was a “danger to the public in his present state”.
Mr Peavoy was charged with four offences on morning of May 28, including two counts under weapons legislation for the production of a knife at Gardiner Street and Parnell Square
The other two charges are under the Public Order Act for threatening, abusive, or insulting words and behaviour at the two locations.
He had refused to have legal representation at his first hearing on May 29 and again when he appeared remotely today at Cloverhill District Court.
Speaking to Judge Alan Mitchell via video link, he insisted he had a different name, was representing himself and that he was a captain in the British army. “Three, two, one speak, what is your name?” he demanded in the name of the king.
He cursed at the judge repeatedly and saying “it is my martial court” and told him “You are a convict of the crown and will be transported to Africa or elsewhere”.
A doctor treating him in custody said the accused would be moved to hospital today.
Judge Mitchell asked for a short psychiatric report on Mr Peavoy to address his fitness to plead and remanded him in continuing custody to appear again on June 19.
At his prior hearing, Detective Garda Paul Griffin was alleged the accused was armed with a knife during the incidents.
He said at 8.42 am, the accused brandished a knife at Parnell Square and then, while acting erratically and aggressively, threatened a woman with her baby telling her to “fuck off”.
“This was totally unprovoked,” he said, adding that there was a coach full of crèche children, which the accused blocked with his hands outstretched. The court heard the children saw him and became “hysterical”, and two of them were allegedly overheard saying, “We’re going to die”.
The court heard the second incident was 35 minutes later, when Mr Peavoy allegedly brandished the knife at Gardiner Street. It was claimed he went up to a bus carrying school children, but the driver closed the doors.
The garda maintained the accused “stared at the driver and pointed at the knife in a sheath in his belt in a clear attempt to intimidate the driver”.
The court heard the children in the buses were aged six to 12 years.
