This terrifying video shows the moment a massive crowd of teenagers are engaged in a loud brawl in a north Dublin seaside town.
A large number of youths can be seen in the midst of a skirmish as Balbriggan has been overrun with a number of violent incidents over the last couple of days.
In a second video two members of the gardai can be seen trying to intervene as a throng of teenagers are involved in an altercation.
The videos come as a massive fire ravaged a house in the Chapel Grove area of the town just hours ago.
A number of emergency vehicles including four fire engines and several ambulances raced to the scene.
Shocking videos show thick clouds of smoke rising from the inferno.
A garda spokesman said: “Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of a fire at a house in the Chapel Grove area of Balbriggan that occurred on 9/8/20 at approximately 6:30pm.
“The blaze was dealt with By Dublin Fire Brigade. The cause of the fire is not yet known. An technical examination of the scene will be carried out when it is safe to do so.”
Earlier today we reported on how arge teenage gangs described by locals as "feral rats" frightened shoppers yesterday during a day of terror where they organised fights against each other at a popular Dublin Shopping Centre.
The young groups which were said to be "30-strong" took over the Castlemill Shopping Complex in Balbriggan on Saturday which contains a Dunnes Stores where most people in the area would buy their big shop from.
A large garda presence including the helicopter were reportedly deployed to the area during the incidents.
The noisy youngsters were heard shouting at each other all day long with fights breaking out throughout the day.
