Mike took the footage from the nearby H&M store and said that there were tourists, shoppers and children around the attack which lasted for under a minute.
According to The Irish Independent, Mike said: “I’ve come to expect things like this in Dublin city centre..it’s become pretty dangerous, especially on the north side.”
Mike was upstairs in H&M when the fight broke out and the man was attacked. Passers-by intervened to try and break up the attack.
