Attack accused bailed after detention centre refuses to take him

A 15-year-old boy who kicked a Chinese man's head “like it was a football,” during a gang attack in Dublin, was granted bail today because a juvenile detention centre would not take him.

“I can do nothing, I've no where to put him,” Judge Eamon O'Brien said at the Dublin Children's Court after hearing a detention centre could not take the boy because one of his relatives is also on remand there.
