Teen faces jail for ‘appalling’ attack on bus staff

A 16-year-old boy who attacked two Bus Éireann workers and made threats about raping their family members has been warned he could be facing a custodial sentence.

The teenager launched into a sexually graphic tirade during the incident when he assaulted two men at Busáras in Dublin city centre on a date in August.

He pleaded guilty to assault charges and sentencing was deferred with a warning that he could be detained.
