Video shows man climbing down side of building to escape Gardai as 'aggressive teen' arrested

The video above shows the moment a man climbs down the side of a building to escape Gardai in a Dublin flat complex on Tuesday.

The footage was taken around the time an "aggressive teen" was arrested by officers at Oliver Bond Street flats in Dublin city centre on yesterday evening.

The arrested young man was asked to leave the premises by Gardai but refused to comply and became aggresive, Dublin Live reports.

He was arrested and was charged for breaching the public order act.

Onlookers are heard giggling when Gardai enter the flats complex at the same time the man scales over the balcony of the buildings first floor.

Two officers are seen entering the flats at the beginning of the video where the young man is seen speaking in their direction from the first floor.

The second the last Garda disappears into the front entrance the man hops over the balcony and tears away from the area constantly looking over his shoulder for the Gardai.

A Garda spokesman told Dublin Live: "A man, aged 19 years, was arrested in the area of the Oliver Bond Street, Dublin 8, on 24/11/20 at approximately 4:25pm for breaches of the public order act.

"He was asked to leave the area but refused and became aggressive and arrested.

"He was detained at Kevin Street Garda Station and has since been charged."
