Youth ‘tried to take out his own eye with pliers’

A TEENAGER tried to gouge out one of his eyes after apparently taking a concoction of illegal drugs, it emerged yesterday.

The 19-year-old man is understood to have partially removed an eye with a set of pliers in a suspected psychotic reaction to taking ecstasy and LSD.

The youth, from Greystones, Co Wicklow, was at a house party in nearby Bray, when he mutilated himself.
