Two men allegedly armed with a weapon robbed tourists at gunpoint in broad daylight in a frightening video taken in Dublin.

It's understood the shocking incident happened on Monday evening at 6pm at Long's Place near the Guinness Storehouse.

The footage shows two young males approaching a woman on the street with one of the males dressed in blue holding what appears to be a gun, Dublin Live reports.

The clip then shows the man with the blue hoodie pointing the alleged weapon at a second person, a man wearing a light blue jacket.
