Teen faces trial for 30-second mugging

A 17-year-old boy left a man traumatised following a 30-second mugging where he was kicked and punched as he was held to the ground, it was alleged today.

The victim, aged 24, no longer goes out walking at night and would not stay at his home address for two weeks following the incident last June, Judge Bryan Smyth heard at the Dublin Children's Court.
