Teenager who allegedly kicked female garda in the face served with book of evidence

A 17-year-old boy, who allegedly kicked a female garda in the face as she lay on the ground and then went on to break two of her colleagues’ noses, has been served with a book of evidence.

At the Children’s Court today, Judge Bryan Smyth ordered trial on indictment, sending the case forward to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, which has greater sentencing powers.
