Walker Finds Unconscious Teen In Belfast City Cemetery
A teenage boy has been taken to hospital after he was discovered unconscious in a west Belfast cemetery.
A local resident walking in the area stumbled across the youth in City Cemetery on Thursday evening, 31 October and called the emergency services.
Sinn Fein in Ballymurphy said: "Thanks to him, an ambulance was called and the young lad is away to hospital. Hopefully he is ok."
The representative said it is unclear what happened to the boy but that there had been large numbers of youths drinking in the cemetery and Falls Park.
They added: "Not all are drinking and many are out for Halloween night, but we are asking parents to check in with their children. Phone them, speak to them and make sure they are ok and safe."
