Three Belfast men were remanded in custody today charged with an attack which left a teenager unconscious.
Dean Clarke, 20, and 18-year-olds Geordie Brown and Nathan Lloyd appeared in court accused of carrying out the assault in South Belfast .
Police said a 17-year-old male was found injured and unconscious at a flat on the Donegall Road last Friday. Clarke, from Creevy Avenue; Brown, of Malone Road in the city; and Lloyd, with an address on the Donegall Road, are jointly charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Brown is also accused of disorderly behaviour at the Royal Victoria Hospital on the same date, while Lloyd faces a further count of possessing Class C Tramadol drugs. A detective told Belfast Magistrates’ Court he could connect each defendant to the charges against them.
