A Dublin youth has been sent forward for trial over a gang robbery in which a Brazilian man was allegedly chased before he was dragged to the ground and beaten.

The 17-year-old has been charged at the Children's Court with robbery of €600 from the man, at Herberton Walk, in south Dublin, on October 31 last. However, it had been held that the case was too serious to be dealt with in the juvenile court and should be sent to the Circuit Court, which has wider sentencing powers.
