A group of up to 13 men are alleged to have surrounded and intimidated two women in a laneway in the north inner city.
The alleged incident took place last night and is understood to be linked to a property dispute.
The men trespassed in the laneway at around 8:50pm and attempted to remove personal property it's been claimed.
One of the women told Dublin Live: "The men were quite intimidating. They had myself and the woman I was with surrounded."
The brave women stood their ground and eventually the group of men left the area.
A garda spokesman confirmed to Dublin Live they attended the scene after receiving reports of a group of men trespassing in the laneway.
He added: "Gardai attended the scene but no persons were present at the time. Enquiries are continuing."
