Southside suburb shopping centre goers are being warned about gangs hanging around outside shops after an alleged horror attack on a young girl in recent days.
Over the weekend, a teenage girl was passing the area when she was apparently attack from behind in an incident that left her "extremely upset".
The gang of about ten youngsters are said to have been hanging around the shop when one of their members ran up behind the girl and 'rugby tackled her', according to local forum Cabinteely Life.
The alleged attacker ran back to the group leaving the girl very shaken as she continued on her route.
A Garda spokesman said: "Cabinteely Gardai have advised that if anyone sees anti-social behaviour at The Park Shopping Centre, to let them know and they will send a car up to move them on.
"With the amount of youths and anti-social behaviour that went on, especially, this weekend and with the Summer ahead of us, it will only continue to escalate if it’s not dealt with now."
