A senior military officer had to go into a toilet cubicle to "escape" from a colleague accused of verbally abusing and physically assaulting him, a court-martial has heard.

Lieutenant Colonel John Maloney entered a toilet cubicle to avoid any further confrontation with Commandant Nile (Niall) Donohoe during an incident in Casement Aerodrome in August 2007, the military court at McKee Barracks was told yesterday.
