Teen beat up man in front of kids
A teenage boy who beat up a man in front of two small children during a daylight robbery in Dublin city-centre has been spared a custodial sentence.
The boy, aged 17, had pleaded guilty at the Dublin Children's Court to assault and robbery of the man on Parnell Street, on April 6 last year. His case was adjourned until today for a pre-sentence probation report on him to be furnished to the court.
