Dramatic scenes from a massive planned raid at a Dublin halting site yesterday shows one of three people who were arrested being pinned to the ground before being handcuffed by Gardai.
A child, a teenager and man in his 20s were all arrested for allegedly obstructing the course of justice during the carefully coordinated operation.
And footage obtained by Dublin Live shows the exact moment that one of them was nabbed by officers.
Gardai stormed the Darndale/Clarehall area of Coolock on Wednesday at around 1pm to carry out the sting at the encampment - taking place on a site near Belcamp Lane across from Clarehall Shopping Centre.
As many as 15 garda cars, vans and even a helicopter were deployed to the North Dublin area as a huge presence patrolled the scene for hours.
Officers were seen bringing shovels onto the site while Garda dogs were also used in the duration of their time there.

The short clip also scans the area, and more than ten officers can be seen scouring the site.
A Garda spokesman told Dublin Live: "Planned operational searches were conducted in the Clarehall area of Coolock on Wednesday, 22nd April.
"These searches were based on confidential information received by Gardaí in the Coolock District.
"Two males (one in his 20s and the other in his late teens) were arrested for obstructing the course of justice.
"A male juvenile was also arrested and released without charge with a file being prepared for the Juvenile Diversion Program."
