A juvenile accused of instigating and participating in a “random” gang attack on a medical student in Dublin has been found to be too serious for the Children’s Court to handle, according to a judge, reports Breaking News.
After being “punched ten times to the head and body,” the victim (age 21) had a concussion.
Judge Paul Kelly ruled that the defendant, 17, ought to face trial in Circuit Court, which has more extensive sentencing authority.
The defendant, who is underage and cannot be identified, was accused of assaulting the young guy and causing him harm on November 11, 2022, in Dublin 9’s Collinswood neighbourhood, reports Breaking News.
To choose the location of his trial, he had to attend a preliminary hearing in the Dublin Children’s Court.
Judge Kelly was informed that a fourth-year student at the Royal College of Surgeons had completed a 14-hour shift at the Temple Street hospital as part of his placement.
