A One Direction fan was left covered in bleach following an assault after last weekend's One Direction concert.
The teenager's mother called RTE’s Liveline programme today and explained that the incident happened as they were walking to Abbey Street to get the Luas following the performance at Croke Park.
She told the show that she and her son felt a large amount of liquid fall on them but thought it was rain water from a nearby tree.
Her son noted that the the water “smelled like the swimming pool" but it was only on returning to a family member's home, she noticed that his One Direction t-shirt had been destroyed by the bleach. Luckily, he was also wearing a baseball cap that protected him from most of the corrosive substance.
It's understood that the bleach was thrown from an upstairs window.
“He had such a good night and everything had gone great. He got to see his heroes perform and for this to happen he couldn’t fathom,” she said.
