A dad has hit out at Ireland's justice system after his son was viciously punched in the head by a gang of teenagers in a vile Dublin city centre attack.
Kyrylo Makey, 17, was with his girlfriend in Wolfe Tone Park on Monday night when they were approached by a group of seven teenagers aged around 13 to 14 years old. Kyrylo's father, Oleg said the teens showed him a paper with what looked like Spanish words on it and asked if he could read it.
Oleg told Dublin Live: "I don’t understand why they did it but perhaps they were trying to figure out if he was a foreigner or a local. When he refused them, they heard he had an accent and realised he wasn’t local."
