Teen ‘celebrated like footballer’ after attack

A teenager celebrated like a football player after chasing a homeless man through Cork city before kicking and stamping him on the head, it was claimed yesterday.

A garda told a court the 30-year-old homeless man had been knocked to the ground, kicked, stamped on, and suffered a broken nose and some broken teeth.

Garda Brian Maher outlined the allegations at Cork District Court where a juvenile was charged with assault, causing harm and endangerment whereby he created a substantial risk of death or serious harm to another person.
