It is understood that a group of people noticed the attack and rushed to the teenager's defence.
"I can’t thank those who came to his aid enough. Without them, who knows? He’s on the mend now," Kennedy added.
It is believed the group tried to steal his bike when he was coming home from work at Dublin Airport.
Ciaran was taken to Beaumont Hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
“He has to get an operation now to straighten his nose. But I know it could have been a lot worse,” the news anchor told The Star.
He added that his son will no longer be cycling home from work.
