Shocking bench brawl breaks out outside Dublin pub as crowds egg them on

A shocking brawl broke out between a man and a woman as crowds gathered with phones to egg them on outside a popular Dublin pub on Sunday night.

The scenes took place on Cathal Brugha Street outside the popular Living Room pub.

Video footage obtained by Dublin Live shows a woman, standing on a bench, attempting to launch a kick at a man on the same bench beside her.

The man catches the kick and pushes the woman down as crowds begin to flock over to catch a glimpse of the fight.

Another man attempts to pull the woman back before she escapes his grasp and climbs back onto the bench, as shouts of "it's kicking off" fill the air.

And another large group of men are seemingly involved in an argument with a group at the bench beside the one where the fight is taking place.

The woman then climbs down from the bench and reaches to grab the phone of someone who is recording the scenes.

The man on the bench appears to be injured, but his grey jumper appears to have been soaked before the recording.

Dublin Live have contacted An Garda Siochana and the Living Room for comment on the scenes.
