A TEENAGER is due to appear in court today in connection with alleged drugs offences after two boys were taken to hospital having taken what may have been a "Mortal Kombat" ecstasy tablet.
Jack Blades, 16, is in intensive care, while a 17-year-old was discharged following tests.
They were taken to Monklands Hospital in Airdrie at 11.30pm on Saturday after falling ill following a house party in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire. Police said they believe the drugs included ecstasy and "possibly" a Mortal Kombat tablet. A 16-year-old boy was arrested and he is expected to appear at Airdrie Sheriff Court today.
