Teenagers in violent attack were in state care at time

Seven teenagers who launched a violent city centre attack on a Chinese man before robbing him were all in state care at the time.

Fen Ling Wang, 29, was walking home through Dublin city centre at 3am, having finished work in a restaurant, when the five males and two females set upon him. He was knocked to the ground where he received dozens of kicks, many of which were directly to the head.

After Mr Wang was knocked unconscious the gang robbed his phone and shoes before leaving him in the middle of the street.
