The 17 year old - who cannot be named due to his age - was denied bail yesterday.
A 72-year-old man is in hospital after being attacked near his home in the Ardrass area of Celbridge, at approximately 9.30pm on Tuesday.
A number of suspects ran from the scene, while one person fled on a scrambler bike stolen from the property.
