A young man is fighting for his life in hospital after being brutally beaten with a custom-made implement.
The teenager (17) is in Beaumont Hospital with serious head and neck injuries after being brutally beaten by a gang on La Touche Road in Bluebell, Dublin 12 on Wednesday. Sources say the young man was involved in an alleged conversation with a female moments before the altercation occurred.
It is believed that a gang of up to four youths then approached the young man following this alleged exchange and brutally beat him with implements. One of the gang are alleged to have been using a custom made stick-like implement that contained sharp blades.
