A Kildare man was left with a broken jaw after being attacked and robbed by thugs in the capital last weekend.
David Browne, 21, was on his way home after a night out socialising with friends in Dublin city centre when he was set upon and attacked by a group of six men, who took his phone and threatened to stab him. The incident happened on the boardwalk at Bachelor's Walk at around 4am on Sunday, 22 January.
David, who identifies as gay, claims that he was "punched repeatedly" by the thugs who stole his phone and left him laying injured on the street. Taking to Instagram to share his terrifying ordeal, David wrote: "I was making my way home from a night out on the early hours of Sunday 22 January on Bachelor's Walk when a group of approximately six young adult males approached me and took my phone.
