Two men and woman assaulted by gang at DART station hours after Bray chaos

Two men and a woman were the victims of a shocking assault at a south Dublin DART station just hours after the chaotic scenes in Bray.

Footage seen by Dublin Live shows a group clashing on the platform at Killiney DART station just after 10pm last night. Blood can be seen on the ground on the platform and inside the carriage after officers arrived to break up the fight.

Two men, aged in their 30s, and a woman in her 50s were treated for injuries by paramedics at the scene. Gardai say no arrests have been made yet and that investigations remain ongoing.

The incident came as swathes of people were making their way home from the Bray Air Show - and just hours after the scary tram chaos that saw passengers force their way out of packed, overheating carriages in stationary DARTs. One Irish soldier told of how he broke open the door of a tram "to protect the lives of our citizens".

There was major delay to DART services yesterday as passengers disembarked from a DART stalled near Bray station at 14:55 following reports of very hot conditions on board. And a soldier on board, who wishes to remain anonymous, spoke to Dublin Live about the situation on board the train - and said if he "didn't act people would have been seriously injured".

A garda spokesman told Dublin Live: "Gardai are investigating the assault of two males in their 30s and a female in her 50s that occurred at Kiliney Dart Station at approximately 10:10pm last night, Sunday 24 July 2022. No arrests have been made, investigations are ongoing."
