Thugs filmed disturbing footage of them beating a young man for allegedly snitching on one of them to Gardai.
The video shows a young man cowering in the corner of a room with a large gash on his face as the masked men brand him a "rat" and claim he made a "fake statement" to Gardai about drugs found during an arrest.
His attackers, who appear to have strong Dublin accents, claim in the video that they inflicted the large cut - which they call a "stripe" - due to his alleged statement.
The young man is seen stripped to his underwear in the video as he stands in fear holding a bloodied piece of clothing to his chest.
The footage shows a bloodied iron wrench which one man is seen using to strike the victim on the head.
His attackers accuse him of being the "lowest of the low" and say he "owes €2,000" for his actions.
The man who filmed the video is heard saying: "You went up and made a fake statement about me saying that half them drugs were f**king mine that you got caught with.
"And got released without a charge?
"Clarify this, what happened? You were arrested with me and who had drugs on them?"
The youngster replied: "Me."
The thugs then accuse their victim of 'ratting on his best friends'.
The masked thug said: "You ratted on your best mates who looked after you. Did I charge you rent here? Did I charge you for food? Did you pay a penny back? No, f**k all you did."
The disgusting footage shows the victim cowering on his back as the thugs assault him from above.
The footage ends with a selfie style video of the masked thug who filmed the assault wearing a ski mask.
He addresses his social media followers who were disgusted by the footage that they "haven't a clue" and that his victim is a "melt".
He said: "Yeah, for anyone who is saying that's bad or anything hasn't a clue man.
"This fella is a melt man."
An Garda Siochana has been made aware of the video.
