A complaint has been made to the Garda Ombudsman after a 15-year-old claimed he was knocked unconscious during an altercation with officers. The 15-year-old, from Co Dublin, said he was cycling with his younger sister at 6pm on Sunday evening when he was stopped by gardaí. The boy claims an altercation began when he was pulled from his bike and thrown to the ground in front of his sister. The case will now be considered for inclusion under the Garda youth diversion programme. "A few of our neighbours came out and were explaining to the officers that he was just 15, but they didn't care.
