Gardai have warned teenagers to be careful, especially when they’re out on their own, after a 12-yr-old girl was badly beaten by a gang of teenage thugs in broad daylight in Skerries, Co. Dublin on Wednesday at 5:30pm.

It’s understood that the young girl was walking near the Tennis Court Lane of the town when she was surrounded a group of teenage boys aged in their late teens.

It’s believed that the thugs were ‘smart’ with the young girl asking her what she was looking at, as they surrounded her like a pack of wolves.

From there, one of the bigger boys ran over and punched the young girl as hard as he could in her jaw, leaving her badly bruised and shaken.

Gardai have advised people to share this information with their friends and family, especially younng people and have appealed for witnesses or anyone with any information to contact them on their Confidential Line on 1800-66-61-11.
