Teen charged with glass bottle attack refused bail

A Dublin youth who allegedly used a bottle to attack a delivery man during an attempted robbery has been refused bail.

He blessed himself hurriedly as he was brought before the Dublin Children’s Court charged with attempted robbery at Applewood, Swords, Dublin, on April 13.

Garda Aine McGee objected to bail citing the seriousness of the offence and attempts made by the 17-year-old to avoid arrest. She said the teen made no reply when charged on Tuesday.
