City centre community at breaking point over armed gangs 'fighting every day'

A city centre community says they are at breaking point thanks to "gangs of young men fighting every day" in their area.

The residents in City Quay say they are "terrified" to leave their homes after 5pm due to the youths fighting and throwing missiles and fireworks at each other. Such is the extreme nature of the anti social behaviour, residents have to turn the volume on their TVs all the way to the top in order to hear it.

Sean O'Casey Bridge on City Quay has a long history of anti-social behaviour with gangs choosing it as a location for a fight. A 13-year-old boy was hospitalised after being stabbed in the area earlier this year.
