Tea thrown in face of homeless service worker

A volunteer with a homeless charity in Dublin was assaulted in the early hours of yesterday morning as she gave out food to people sleeping rough.

The 23-year-old woman had a hot cup of tea thrown in her face as she went to assist homeless people sleeping outside the GPO on O’Connell Street.

The attack took place shortly after midnight when she and other volunteers from Inner City Helping Homeless were giving out food to homeless people.
