Traffic held up as youths fight on Limerick street

TRAFFIC was held up on O’Connell Street this Sunday as two youths fought in broad daylight.

Footage of the shocking incident on Limerick’s main thoroughfare has been widely shared on social media.

They two males are being cheered on by supporters as they box. A "referee" steps in to separate them when they started holding.

Despite drivers of cars beeping their horns they continued to fight on the road. At one point one of their "supporters" tells them to, "Hurry up as the shades will be on".

Gardai say they haven’t received any reports in relation to an incident of this nature.
