Two people have been arrested after a young woman was robbed in a terrifying early morning incident.
The victim, a girl in her early 20s, was walking on Ballymun Road shortly before 1 o'clock today when she was approached from behind and thrown to the ground.
A man snatched her smart phone and fled the scene on foot.
Quick-acting gardai soon arrested a man and a woman, aged in their 40s and 30s respectively, following a search of the area.
They also recovered the stolen phone.
A garda spokesman said: "The man and woman are currently being detained at Ballymun Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984."
