A man who has spoken out about being assaulted by 10-15 teenagers in Ballyfermot last week has slammed the "crime culture" in the area.
Ante Skojo, aged in his 30's, was walking home from work along the Ballyfermot Road at around 9pm last Thursday when he passed a group of teenagers. He said he heard a "big laughter" come from the group and the situation escalated.
Speaking to RTE Liveline, Ante explained that one of the group came to the right side of him and repeatedly said 'buddies, buddies, buddies'. He said: "I tried to ignore them but then all of a sudden I felt a punch in the back of my head.
