Gardai have made four arrests after a man was attacked and robbed by a group of youths while in Dublin over the weekend.
They have appealed for any witnesses to the incident which happened at Grand Canal Banks in Clondalkin on Sunday.
Shortly before 8pm, a man in his 30s was threatened and assaulted by six youths.
During the incident an electric scooter was taken. Gardai arrested four youths and recovered the scooter a short time later.
The youths were taken to Ballyfermot and Clondalkin Garda stations where they were detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
All four have since been released without charge pending files being prepared for the Juvenile Liaison Officer.
A Garda spokesperson said: "Gardai are appealing to anyone who was in the area between 7:30pm and 8:30pm, who may have witnessed this incident to come forward. They are particularly appealing to any road users who were travelling on the road at the time with camera footage to make this available to them.
"Anyone with any information is asked to contact Clondalkin Garda station on 01 666 7600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station."
