Teen admits Glasgow car park attack

A 15 year-old thug was part of a car park attack on a man that saw him battered with a traffic cone.

The teenager - who cannot be named due to his age - helped hunt down Jamie Keenan in Glasgow city centre last October.

The 24 year-old was eventually caught at the Cadogan Square car park.

The young attacker and an unknown accomplice soon turned on stricken Jamie.

Prosecutor Lauren McRobert told Glasgow Sheriff Court: “They repeatedly kicked him on the head before stamping on him.

“The second male made off and returned with a traffic cone which was used to repeatedly strike his body.”

The duo fled leaving Jamie unconscious on the ground.

It was parking attendants who found him and dialled 999.

The victim's face was smeared with blood - he had a fractured cheekbone and serious injuries to his head and eye.

Miss McRobert said: “The doctor treating him believed if he had not received medical attention immediately then he may have succumbed.”

The boy was traced via CCTV and was arrested days later at his school.

The teenager pleaded guilty to assaulting Jamie to the danger of his life.

The court heard Jamie has since died although not linked to the attack.

Sheriff Norman Ritchie QC deferred sentencing for reports.

The 15 year-old had his bail continued meantime.
