The man in the hoodie and shorts proceeds to slash at the two men on the ground, before stabbing a third man who was trying to break up the fight in the thigh. He then stabs one of the men involved in the altercation, wearing a grey tracksuit, before the video stops.

Gardaí have confirmed that the two men, both in their 30s, suffered injuries during the assault, both of which are non life-threatening.
