Gardai are hunting for at least two more suspects after a man was beaten by a group of young thugs.
The Irish Mirror has learned that the innocent victim, aged in his late 60s, was set upon following a "verbal altercation" and was left with serious head injuries.
Investigators probing the assault on the man made two arrests - one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday morning.
But there are at least two more who are wanted for questioning and detectives are hoping to identify them over the incident at Fairview Strand, Dublin 3 at around 11pm on Monday night.
A source said: "This was a shocking assault on a man who was attacked by a number of people who were in a group together.
"Two men have been arrested but gardai are looking to identify others who may have been involved."
A witness who saw the attack told gardai that the victim got at least one kick to the head.
But officers suspect the man, who was left unconscious, suffered more blows judging by his injuries.
