Man 'scarred for life' by gang attack

A Polish national has been left scarred for life after a gang attack which began when he told a teenage girl that he did not have a cigarette, a court has heard.

Two teenage boys, both aged 17, and a 16-year-old girl appeared at the Children's Court today charged with assault causing harm and violent disorder, at a park in Fairview, in north Dublin, on May 30 last year.
