Gardai have arrested two teenagers and conducted searches in connection with the investigation into the assault on Alanna Quinn Idris (17) and her friend in Ballyfermot.
The teenager, who suffered a ruptured eyeball, broken cheekbones, and a shattered tooth in the sickening attack, was first verbally abused from Dublin City Centre to Ballyfermot on December 30.
However, after exiting the bus and defending herself against the unprovoked abuse, the teenager was brutally attacked on the Ballyfermot Road by the cowards.
After conducting searches in the area, Gardai arrested two males in their late teens this morning.
