Shocking footage shows man being viciously attacked by thugs in broad daylight in Dublin

A man was viciously attacked in broad daylight by a gang of thugs who hit him from behind in Dublin city centre on Sunday afternoon.

Shocking dashcam footage whichdocumented the savage beating was submitted to Dublin Live on Monday.

The video shows a group of at least four young men approaching another on the River Liffey boardwalk at Bachelor's Walk.

One of the gang grabs the man in a headlock, tightening his grip as the others kick at his torso.

After initially falling to the ground, the man frees himself from the attacker's clutches and attempts to escape.

But he doesn't spot the two men sprinting at full pelt down the boardwalk, with one unleashing a vicious running kick right into his back.

The gang briefly admire their handiwork before heading off down the river, leaving the victim on the ground and out of sight.

Dublin Live have contacted An Garda Siochana for comment.
