SHOCKING scenes unfolded on a residential street in Co Dublin last night as a man appeared to be held at gunpoint and threatened.
Gardai are investigating the incident, between two men, which occured in an estate just off Ratoath Road in Finglas, Dublin at around 9pm last night.

In a terrifying video seen by The Irish Sun, the aggressor ordered the victim of the attack to “get on the f***ing ground” and put his hands “behind your f***ing back”.
Holding a phone in one hand, which appeared to have the torchlight on, and what appears to be a handgun in the other, the man shouted: “Don’t f***ing move.”
Appearing to kick the man on the ground, he repeated: “I said flat on the ground with your hands behind your f***ing back.”
The aggressor continued to make threats and the man lying on the ground in the video can be heard mumbling back unintelligibly.
He continued to shout at the man and told him: “If you f***ing move, your brains are going to be all over that f***ing ground. You f***ed with the wrong person.”
Appearing to hit the ground aggressively with the gun as he stood over the man, he continued his threats, telling him: “You and your family’s f***ing brains and all of their brains will be on the f***ing ground.”
The man holding the gun then lifts his head up before asking a person off-camera if someone is “on the way”.
And in a separate video, taken later in the evening, at least three Garda cars are captured attending the scene before cops lead away one man with his hands behind his back.
Gardai have confirmed that they are investigating the incident.
In a statement provided to the Irish Sun, a spokesperson said: “Gardai attended an incident at a premises in the Rathoath Road area of Finglas, Dublin 11, yesterday evening, Wednesday 6th December 2023.
“Investigations are ongoing at this time.”
