Two youths have appeared in court accused of attempted murder after an assault in Newry.
It was heard that both males, who cannot be named for legal reasons, wished to make bail applications in the cases against them.
Both appeared, from Hydebank and Woodland’s via videolink, at Newry Magistrates’ on Wednesday charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon with intent to commit an indictable offence.
