Boy nearly mowed down Oxegen revellers

A 15-year-old boy nearly mowed down revellers at last year's Oxegen music festival and was later caught at the event fighting while armed with a knife , the Dublin Children's Court has heard.

The boy has been granted bail but ordered to attend drug and alcohol addiction counselling and warned he must not use any motor vehicle, or he risks custody. “Not even a ride on lawn mower,” Judge Elizabeth MacGrath told the teen.
