Gardaí have said that posting images of the Dundrum assault may jeopardise an investigation.

Gardaí have urged people not to share videos or images of a recent attack in Dundrum for fear it may jeopardise an investigation.

Gardaí at Dundrum are investigating all the circumstances of a number of incidents, including Public Order/Theft, on Main Street Dundrum on the afternoon of Sunday, 18 August involving a group of youths (females and males).

One incident involves an alleged report of assault on a female, which has been widely shared on social media.

Investigating Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information or anyone with mobile phone footage/dash cam footage to contact Dundrum Garda Station on 01 – 666 5600, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.

The investigation will aim to determine the motive behind these incidents; at this time the incidents are not believed to be racially motivated. Investigations are continuing.

Gardaí said that as this case is currently being investigated, and in consideration of the injured party, it is requested that this online video is not shared further.
