Arrests have been made in connection with a nightly riot that terrorized residents living in the East Wall.

The shocking incident, which occurred on November 17, saw a man beaten up in the Island Key area by a gang before they began to provoke a criminal attack.

As previously reported by Dublin Live, the terrifying outbreak occurred just before 9pm with horrified residents watching.

Images obtained by Dublin Live showed a car and its driver hit with guns when the vehicle was wedged into a building in the Island Key area.

The area had been plagued with antisocial behavior for the past few months and local residents could be heard screaming in fear and shock at the unpleasant scenes that took place.

There had been an ongoing garda operation to address the problems in the area, but it was disbanded a few weeks earlier when garda resources were reallocated elsewhere.

Now, three people, a man and two young men, have been arrested for gardai and are being detained at Dublin garda stations.

A Garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí arrested a man in his 20s and two minors in connection with an incident of violent disorder and criminal damage on Island Key, East Wall on November 17, 2020.

“The two minors are detained under the provisions of section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Store Street Garda Station. The man in his 20s is currently detained under the provisions of section 4 of the Act 1984 Criminal Justice Court at Mountjoy Garda Station. “
