A 10-year-old boy was treated for serious leg injuries after being struck by a Dart at about 4.50pm yesterday. The boy fell from the platform as a northbound train arrived at Howth Junction station in north Dublin, an Iarnród Éireann spokesman said.
Emergency services brought the boy to Beaumont Hospital where he is being treated for leg injuries. All trains were suspended through the junction for half an hour, including Dart, commuter and enterprise services. Services between Howth junction and Howth were suspended until 5.55pm.
Iarnród Éireann will investigate the incident.
