A 17-year-old girl was seriously assaulted in Duke Street, Dublin, around 2 a.m. yesterday. She was badly beaten about the head, lost several teeth and had most of her clothes torn off. She was later taken to the Meath Hospital, where her condition was described as comfortable.
A 19-year-old man was later detained and questioned by Garda about the incident under the Criminal Justice Act. He is expected to appear in the District Court on a number of charges this morning.
