These are the worrying scenes from north Dublin last night as Gardai swarmed an area following a suspected stabbing incident involving a young teenage boy.
A number of vehicles and an army of officers blocked off Sillogue Park in Ballymun just before 11pm.
It is understood that the victim, a teenage boy, is currently fighting for his life in hospital.
The frightening footage obtained by Dublin Live shows locals and residents on the street close to midnight as Garda and ambulance members treat the victim at the scene.
It is understood that the young boy was rushed to hospital at around 11:30pm and was still breathing at the time.
He currently remains in a critical condition this morning.
A garda spokeswoman confirmed that they attended the scene but no further information has been released yet.
