Gang of up to 20 teens run away laughing after women gets pushed into Grand Canal

A group of heartless teens ran away laughing after a woman was pushed into the Grand Canal during the sunshine on Saturday.

The gang of up to 20 young teens outraged locals in Ringsend after the poor woman had to be helped out of the water by shocked onlookers.

A witness told Dublin Live they were walking in the area they heard a scream and a splash as the kids all ran away.

They said: "I was walking across towards Ringsend, there was a gang of around 20 plus kids.

"We just heard a scream and saw them all running away. Then there was a splash and we turned around.

"They were all laughing while running as her friend helped her out.

"The kids were all in their early teens, there was a lot of them.

"The Viking Splash tour was around, and they all would have saw her."

The man went on to say he didn't recognise the group from the area - and that there was a lot of people in the area enjoying the weather.

"The locals all around were giving out to the kids, but I don't think the gang cared.

"Nobody recognised them, I didn't recognise them. But they were far enough away that I didn't see their faces.

"But look it was sunny, there was water, so a lot of people come in to enjoy it."
