There were violent scenes in Dublin city last night as a large group of people gathered around asylum seekers who are sleeping rough.
The incident happened on Sandwith Street in the south inner city. Footage shared on social media shows a man confronting the group. Others can be seen removing posters that were tied to a barrier.
Another man can be heard shouting: "Take that fu**er down will you, this is our country". An individual can be seen hitting a steel fence and knocking some of it loose. The man confronting the group then takes the piece of light steel and hits it against the ground before being surrounded by a number of men. After being hit, he falls on the ground.
