GARDAI have launched an investigation into an alleged assault in a fast food outlet in a County Limerick town.
A video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows the shocking incident which features three women and one man involved in a brawl. It took place in Newcastle West last Sunday evening, July 19.
It appears to show a man wearing a Limerick jersey, thought to be middle-aged, grappling with and pushing two women separately into the walls of the premises. The three women, who seem to be in their 20s or 30s, are purportedly hitting and kicking the man.
The incident takes place in the middle of the fast food outlet where one person can be seen eating their meal in close proximity. A staff member tries to intervene to calm matters. People walking outside on the street stop to observe what is happening.
It is not known which of the parties or how many of them made a formal complaint to gardai.
