Shocking footage shows a man getting a bottle smashed over his head in broad daylight in the middle of one of Dublin's busiest spots.
The video, which was taken in Smithfield Square on Thursday, shows an argument erupting involving three people on a green area of the popular spot.
One topless man can be seen sitting as another man and woman can be seen pushing eachother.
It appears as if the woman is trying to prevent the man from going towards the other who is sitting down looking in the other direction.
The man standing then picks up a bottle before running up behind the other man and smashing it over his head with force.
The bottle breaks over the victim's head before he gets up, turns, and then falls to the ground.
The assailant then runs away as the woman walks behind him.
The video went viral on social media with an image of spinning bottle edited into the video
