Three co-defendants remain before courts over September 19th incident but are yet to indicate their pleas
Footage posted online last September showed a garda car being rammed during an incident in Cherry Orchard, DublinA prosecution brought against a 14-year-old boy charged in connection with the ramming of a garda car in Ballyfermot, Dublin has been dropped to allow him to participate in a crime diversion programme.
Videos of the incident, which happened at around 7.30pm on September 19th last, showed a collision between the patrol vehicle and another car cheered by on-lookers and went virial on social media. Gardaí commenced an investigation and made five arrests, with four teenage boys charged over the incident in October.
At Dublin Children’s Court on Wednesday, Judge Brendan Toale noted that one 14-year-old accused had been referred to the Garda’s juvenile diversion programme, an alternative to a court prosecution which does not carry the risk of a criminal record or custodial sentence. He had been charged with unlawfully travelling as a passenger in a stolen car at Cedarbrook Avenue on September 19th last.
