Gardaí attended the scene and arrested two men in their early 20s and one male teenager. They were taken to Pearse Street Garda Station where they remain in custody.

A video shared on social media of a disturbance on the street shows men fighting with chairs and glass bottles. It appears to show men in a hospitality uniform in a fight with young males, who throw glass bottles.

Both groups can be seen punching, and using chairs as weapons, before bystanders intervene and break up the altercation.

A Garda spokesman said investigations are ongoing.
