A youth has been charged over an assault in Dublin city centre last month which left a Lithuanian man paralysed.
The 17-year-old boy, who cannot be identified because he is a juvenile, was yesterday charged with assault causing harm to Andrej Fiflimonov (21), at the Millennium Bridge on December 8th.
The teenager, who is from eastern Europe, has not yet entered a plea.
