Teen spared prosecution of Ballyholme Beach party attack on PSNI officer

A teenager who kicked a female police officer in the face at a mass beach party in north Down during the summer lockdown has had the charges against him withdrawn. The 17-year-old, who was one of four youths arrested on Bangor’s Ballyholme Beach at the end of May, is instead to meet with his victim or a police representative. More than 400 youths had gathered on the beach to drink alcohol and party in breach of social distancing guidelines and sections of the crowd attacked cops who attempted to disperse them. During the disorder a female PSNI officer was booted in the face by a 17-year-old when she told him he shouldn’t be drinking on the beach.
