Gardaí have arrested two more people in connection with an alleged assault on UK tourists in Dublin’s Temple Bar.
Three men in their 20s were taken to St James’s Hospital after an incident at Fownes Street Upper in Dublin at about 10pm on August 11th. Two of them were members of an amateur soccer club who came to Dublin for a friendly match.
Dublin Children’s Court heard last week that a fight involving a large group ensued.
It was alleged the tourist was punched to the rear of his head by an unknown male and that a second male punched him in the face with a clenched fist before a third person struck him.
