Shocking footage shows car drive into man on footpath outside Dublin school

Video footage shows the moment a man was struck by a car outside a Dublin school on Monday morning.

The incident happened outside Mother of Divine Grace, Finglas, and it's alleged that racial abuse was shouted at the group before the attack.

Gardai are investigating after a car was driven into a group of Indian people outside on School Road in Finglas around 9.40am.

One man was hospitalised with minor injuries.

The video shows a silver car drive past the group of people before reversing back along the road.

The car then turns towards the group and a man finds himself on the bonnet.

According to RTE, the car has since been seized for examination.

One person who was there claimed an occupant in the vehicle shouted racist abuse.

A garda spokesman said: "Gardai are investigating an incident of assault at School Road, Finglas, Dublin 11, on 18th November 2019 at approximately 9.40am.

"A man in his 40s was taken to Mater Hospital with non-life threatening injuries."
