Teen awaits trial date over stabbing

A youth has been remanded on bail pending trial for allegedly taking part in an attempted gang robbery where a Chinese delivery man was repeatedly stabbed and had his nipple “sliced”.

The 17-year-old boy has pleaded not guilty to assault causing harm and attempted robbery of the man, in a housing estate in west Dublin, on October 29 last year. He was due to face trial at the Dublin Children's Court next week.
