This morning.

Via TMZ:

The absurd attack went down at The Marble Arch Pub [Benbulbin Road, Driminagh, Dublin 12] on April 6 [but only released this morning]

Conor walked in and lined up cups for bar patrons … looking to buy a round of his Proper Twelve for everyone.

The problems started when the guy opted out. Conor placed a cup in front of him not once, but twice … and he still refused.

Unclear if words were exchanged between them, but after Conor downed a shot with the other drinkers, he unexpectedly threw his notorious left fist and decked the old man who rejected the shot.

Perhaps most odd of all … the poor, old pub patron who got socked didn’t even get knocked off his stool. People are just tougher in Ireland, apparently

G’wan Drimnagh.

Chins of steel.
