A 72-year-old woman left swollen and sore after she was tackled in a “drunken prank” sat in court as her alleged attackers faced their charges. Linda Keen was allegedly tackled to the ground and filmed by two men as she was walking along the beach at Alexandra Headland in the early hours of December 27. The men ran off after the attack, leaving the woman alone on the beach with an injured knee. At Maroochydore Magistrates Court today Isaac James Carnell, 18, and Jarvis Taylor, 19, faced one charge each of seriously assaulting a person over 60. Mr Taylor’s defence lawyer Steven Brough said case conferencing could be required and his matter was adjourned to February 28. Mr Carnell, from Mountain Creek, pleaded guilty and defence lawyer Laura Turner said they were ready to proceed to sentencing. His matter was also adjourned to February 28 so he could be sentenced alongside his co-accused. The teenagers were ordered to not have contact with any of the other men involved in the incident.
