This young boy thought he was going to die after he was brutally assaulted in a Dublin park in broad daylight.
The teenager, 13, whose mother has asked not to be named, was left seriously injured and rushed to intensive care when he was subjected to a brutal 20-minute assault in Dublin’s Bushy Park last Thursday. Gardai now say they are investigating the “serious assault” and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The boy’s heartbroken mother issued the Irish Mirror with this shocking image of her son lying in a hospital bed - bloodied and terrified after he was repeatedly kicked in the head and beaten by a gang of teenagers. The horrified mother told us how her son was enjoying a day at the park with a female friend when he was set upon by a gang of youths and mercilessly beaten.
