Teenager threatened Garda and family, court hears

A teenage boy, who spat blood into the face of a Garda then threatened to kill him and rape his wife and children, has been remanded on bail to await sentence.

The boy (aged 17), who cannot be name because he is a juvenile, has pleaded guilty at the Dublin Children’s Court to 49 offences including a threat to kill as well as assault, trespassing, criminal damage, illegal driving, possession of drugs, skipping court and handling stolen property offences.
