Teen faces Circuit Court in relation to alleged garda-car ramming

A teenager has been sent forward for trial in the Circuit Court for an alleged motoring offence in which he is accused of ramming a garda car following a high-speed car chase.

The 16-year-old, north inner city Dublin boy, was served with a book of evidence in the case yesterday and trial on indictment in the Circuit Court ordered. A judge had earlier refused jurisdiction to hear the case in the Children’s Court after hearing a summary of the evidence.
