This is the shocking moment that a young teen was battered on the ground by a bat and whacked with punches during a frightening gang assault in Dublin.
The horror attack, which took place in broad daylight in Bluebell, shows one teen boy in a mustard jacket lying on the ground while being surrounded by a group of other young teens.
Shouts of "get him" can be heard in the video while as many as five teens gang up on the boy and viciously kick and punch him on the deck before one person delivers a brutal blow with the bat.
A garda squad car can be seen rushing to the scene of the brawl during this incident and splitting up a portion of the group, some of whom flee the scene on bicycles.
That doesn't stop the gang from continuing to carry out the violent attack despite officers just being metres away and only ends when one of the men in a red hoodie shouts "that's my mate" and starts to run after the group.
The video also shows the victim present at the scene of another brutal attack in the area where two teens, a red-hooded attacker and one in a blue jumper, are seen being punched on the ground by a teenager in a blue jumper.
The victim of the first attack is then spotted holding that same teenager on the ground in a third part of the video asking him repeatedly "where's the knife?".
A spokesman for Gardai told Dublin Live: "We were called to a public order incident on the Naas Road, Bluebell on Sunday 16th August at approximately 7pm.
"A male juvenile was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon."
He added: "He has since been released without charge with a file being prepared for the JLO."
