Disturbing footage shows Dublin security guard pouring hot water to move homeless woman

These distressing pictures show a Dublin security guard pouring hot water to move a homeless woman who was sitting near a shop.

Footage seen by Dublin Live shows the woman sitting on the ground at a bin, while a security guard threatens to throw the contents of a coffee cup at her.

The footage was filmed by an onlooker on Wednesday night. Steam can be seen rising from the top of the cup.

The woman gets up from her spot and the security guard proceeds to pour the water over where she was sitting, splashing and soaking her belongings that were on the ground.

At the end of the clip, he leaves the scene and walks into the shop.

A source said the woman was "shaken, but alright" after the incident.

Dublin Live have contacted the shop about the incident.
