This shocking footage shows the moment a girl attacks a security guard at a shop in north Dublin.
It is understood that the worker removed the woman from the store after she was allegedly caught stealing by staff.

She is alleged to have attempted to steal sweets at 7:15pm but was spotted and immediately questioned by workers in the store, Dublin Live reports.
When she refused to leave, the security guard had to 'force' her out of the shop.
Staff member, Anna, told Dublin Live that the girl "is known to the shop" and alleged the the girl has tried to steal before.
She said: "When she was stopped by the security guard, she started to shout and become aggressive.
"He had to use force in order to get her outside as she refused to move.
"He got her outside but she was still arguing with him and still didn't want to go.
"She was waving her hands in his face, trying to kick him and she scratched him a few times which left him bleeding.
"We know her, she's a regular visitor to our shop but she's not allowed shop in here. She has tried things like this before."
A garda spokeswoman said: "A female allegedly assaulted a security guard at a shop after she had allegedly stolen property and investigations are ongoing."
