The boy, 17, had also robbed a teenage boy of his €150 earphones and runners worth €120 in a separate incident

Both robberies took place in Dublin's Temple Bar.

A youth has been sentenced to four months’ detention for a violent mugging of an English tourist beaten up in Dublin's Temple Bar and a later street robbery while he was out on bail.

Three men in their 20s were taken to St James's Hospital after an incident at Fownes Street Upper at about 10pm on August 11. Two of them were members of an amateur soccer club who came to Dublin for a friendly match against a local team.
