The leader of five thug Dublin gang 'well-known to Gardai' who performed sickening attack

This is the leader of the five thug Dublin gang 'well-known to Gardai' who carried out a sickening attack in north Dublin last month.

Swords Gardai are investigating an attempted robbery that happened on November 23 where one man was jumped on by this person as his group watched on.

The victim targeted in the incident was walking on his own when a Ford Focus pulled up beside him on Forrest Road.

The blue car was carrying five male suspects but one individual hopped out and attempted to hunt down the walker.

The man was threatened by the thug who tried to snatch his phone during the physical altercation before fleeing the scene on foot.

At the time of the attack, he was wearing a "black and orange jacket with the hood up as well as black runners and tracksuit bottoms".

A Garda spokesman said: "We are appealing to anyone with information about the incident to contact Swords Garda on 01 6664700, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda station."
