GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED three people after bottles were thrown at bar staff at a venue on South William Street in Dublin. 

The incident also saw chairs thrown as scuffles spilled out onto the street, while dozens of people looked on. 

A video of the incident has been circulating on social media. Several bar staff responded to the attack and pursued the group down the street. 

A garda spokesperson said that an investigation has been opened into the incident and three people have been arrested. 

“Gardaí are investigating reports of a group of four persons causing a disturbance on South William Street, Dublin 2, on (Thursday) at approximately 9.30pm.
