Gardai are set to crack down on teenagers who appear to be randomly attacking youths and posting the footage on TikTok and other social media platforms.
Since late December, a large group of young people have been assaulting people in the Cabra area of Dublin. The attacks have been escalating in recent weeks, according to locals.
One incident is understood to have led to a boy being put into an induced coma after an attack left him with serious head injuries, while another reportedly saw a teenager stabbed in the head with a screwdriver.
