Shocking video shows thugs brawling in broad daylight on busy O'Connell Street

This was the shocking scene on Dublin's O'Connell Street as a gang of thugs brawled in broad daylight on a busy Saturday afternoon.

One man is immediately punched to the ground as a woman can be heard shouting "stop" repeatedly.

The topless man gets up and begins to throw fists with another man just outside of Spar and The Aran Store as shoppers walk past.

The topless man is then ganged up upon by three men, who throw punches, kicks, and knees as he tries to protect himself near the ATM next to the entrance to the Spar.

The topless man is able to get away from his pursuers and smashes one of the attackers in the face, dropping him to the concrete.

The scene ends with the man being grabbed by the leg as the other attackers surround him before other people rush over to calm things down.

Dublin Live have contacted An Garda Siochana for any additional information.
