A TEENAGER who videoed his friend kicking a 74-year-old man into the Mersey has walked free from court. The 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was told he was lucky not to be facing a manslaughter charge over the shocking attack on a stretch of the river in Howley back in April. He was handed a 12-month youth referral order on Thursday, June 6, after admitting a joint enterprise assault in connection with the incident. Warrington Magistrates Court heard that the pensioner was attacked as he stood on the banks of the water near to Riverside Retail Park, opposite an area known as Monkey Island, at around 2.30pm on Sunday, April 25.
