Video shows notorious Dublin thug once linked to infamous drugs gang in street brawl

This video shows a notorious west Dublin thug once linked to an infamous drugs gang firing knockout blows during a street fight.

The criminal has nearly 40 previous convictions including robbery and possession of a weapon.

The man, who is in his 40s, was caught on camera knocking another man to the ground in west Dublin in what appears to be an organised brawl between the two men.

In the video, the well-known criminal wearing a white t-shirt, can be seen receiving a belt to the face by the opposing fighter who is wearing a stripy t-shirt and a zip-up jacket.

But the hood bounces back, bursting through the gate of a house, which the man is backing into, and kicking his opponent as he's spurred on by the crowd.

Then, the convicted robber ducks and dodges punches before smacking the man with two punches described as "fair knocks" by one of the watching bystanders.

He pins him to the fence inflicting further digs to the man in the hoodie before some of the crowd intervene telling him to stop before they slaughter him.

The video also shows a further altercation between the two where the criminal can be seen punching the man twice before he ends up sprawled on the floor - despite the bystanders pleading for him to "leave it" that the man "doesn't want it".

Dublin Live has contacted Gardai about the incident.
