A TEENAGER IS expected to appear in court today to be charged after a gang attacked four men in west Dublin yesterday.

One man aged 21 was seriously injured in the assault, which took place as four men sat in a parked car at Fortlawn Park in Blanchardstown at around 6.30am on Sunday.

They were attacked by a group of men, who then took the car. It was found on fire a short distance away.

The victim was being treated for head injuries in Beaumont Hospital yesterday.

The suspect, a man in his late teens, was one of three men arrested after the incident. The other arrested men, described as being in their early 20s, have been released without charge.

He is due to be charged at a sitting of Blanchardstown District Court this morning.
