A 28-year-old man has been charged after a teenage boy was left in a critical condition following an assault outside a bar in the Co Antrim village of Waterfoot.

Police received a report of a 19-year-old being unconscious in the Main Street of the village just after 1.25am on Saturday.

Officers believe an altercation took place outside the pub following an argument inside the licensed premises.

The teenager remained in a critical condition in hospital on Sunday evening.

A 28-year-old man arrested later on Saturday in connection with the assault has been charged with grievous bodily harm.

The suspect is due to appear before Coleraine Magistrates' Court on Monday November 11.
