Two men seriously injured after Dublin acid attack believed to be related to Traveller feud

Two men suffered serious injuries in a suspected acid attack as terrified shoppers looked on in horror in Dublin.

It's believed that the shocking incident on Wednesday afternoon is related to an ongoing Traveller feud in north Dublin.

It was revealed on Thursday that the pair - both in their 20s - traded huge blows with each other during the 'serious public order incident' in Finglas, with one of the men receiving "lacerations to his body", Dublin Live reports.

A source has said that a "corrosive substance" was used during the terrifying incident, which took place around 4pm.

The second man received serious facial injuries following the attack on Jamestown Road with Gardai launching an investigation into how the frightening incident started.

Terrified locals watched on helplessly as the two men were tended to at the scene by ambulance personnel following the alleged acid attack before being rushed to the Mater Hospital for further treatment.
