A young mum had a "narrow miss" after a gang of youths allegedly threw fireworks in her direction as she was pushing her baby in a buggy in south Dublin.
The frightening incident took place earlier this evening near the Belgard Luas stop in Tallaght.
The gang were reportedly throwing fireworks over a wall and into oncoming rush hour traffic when they almost hit the woman who was passing with her child in the buggy.
A horrified resident shared details of the shocking incident on a local residents' group.
They said: "I just got off the Luas coming home from work and some kids from inside our estate were hiding behind the wall between us and the Belgard Luas stop.
"They were lighting fireworks and throwing them over the wall, regardless of whether they hit a person or a car.
"They narrowly missed a woman who was wheeling her baby in a buggy.
"I dread to think what could've happened to that baby."
The resident then claimed that the gang said, "You can't touch me" when approached about their behaviour by passers-by.
The concerned local urged fellow residents to talk to their kids about the dangers of fireworks.
Neighbours were disgusted by the reports, with one woman slamming the "shocking behaviour".
While another added: "Thats appalling. Just imagine the damage they could cause."
