Teenagers Released In St Patrick's Assault Investigation

A file is to be prepared and sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions on two teenagers arrested on connection with the assault of a Brazilian student in Dublin on St Patrick's Day.

Garda identified the 16 and 17-year-old males from a video of the attack that was posted on social media.

In the video a man, later identified as a 30-year-old Brazilian student living in Dublin, is seen lying on the ground being kicked by one teenager. A second then runs up and kicks the man in the face, which appears to knock him unconscious.

The teenagers were question by garda on Thursday and have now been released.
