Video emerges showing fighting on the streets of Dundalk

A controversial video of people fighting in a residential street in Dundalk in broad daylight has emerged online in the past 24 hours.

The video on YouTube, which appears to be in O’Hanlon Park, shows two men confronting a man at his house. The man then confronts the other and a fight ensued outside the property that involved a cricket bat and at least two teenagers.

The video – which so far has been viewed over 3,000 times – was put together from two separate cameras, which were recording from an elevated position of the house.

The description of the video claims that the house was attacked by a local man and his son, with the 50-year-old homeowner forced to defend his family.

No matter what the story, this is not the type of scene you want to see in a local street, particularly as young children were seen passing during the course of the near six minute clip.

Last night in Earl Street

 

Orna Doohan reports that there was a major fight on Earl Street last night.

Apparently the incident occurred around 2am or 3am and involved around eight people.

Is fighting late at night a problem in the town?

Dog owners warned to be wary of thefts

 

A poster has gone up around the area warning dog owners to be wary of thieves looking to steal their pets.

A criminal gang is said to be operating on both sides of the border, taking dogs to be used as bait for fighting dogs.
