These are the shocking stills taken from videos circulating widely on social media over the weekend which showed a gang descending on a north Dublin home in a vile attack.
As many as three clips of the horrendous assault had been shared widely on TikTok and other platforms over the weekend which shows a group with as many as 10 members looking for one youngster in relation to a local dispute.
Deafening screaming sounds fill the videos as the group set out to hurt the local youngster once he opens the door of the house they are targeting.
Footage seen by Dublin Live shows some of the group's members armed with weapons as threats are made to the youngster to step outside.
A source said that despite the videos going "viral" over the weekend, "they could be as old as three weeks".
The source added: "It's understood that these attacks were over a local dispute.
"This was the group's violent way of resolving the altercation between both sides.
Dublin Live has contacted Gardai about the incident.
