A mother has described how her autistic son, who was allegedly attacked by two guys on the Dublin Luas on Christmas Eve, had a dislocated knee before some “local heroes” intervened to save him, reports The Mirror.

During her son Luke’s ride on the city tram into Grafton Street to visit a friend who is also autistic and to shop at the Disney Store, Rowena reported that two guys started “taunting his autistic presentation and his intellectual disability.”

“While sitting on the Luas he got distressed when he saw some anti social behaviour! Two addicts heavily strung out were taunting our son’s autistic presentation and his intellectual disability. When he responded please stop I’ve got autism they then punched him, kicked him and dislocated his knee,” she claimed, reports The Mirror.
