fight on beach

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Monday August 11, 2003 19:40author by paul cummins Report this post to the editors

after dollymount mtv event

nine arrested as police breka up fight on beach and crowd turns on them

i was walking along the coast near bull island when i saw smoke coming from where i guessed the beach dance competition(and kitesurfing) was being held i also saw a few police vans rush by and firebrigade , if i had a camera i should gone to the scene and checked out what was happening

apparently a fight broke out among some people of the hundreds that were there after the event was finishing,

from the indo nine were arrested and a police was hit with knuckle duster and another a bottle,after they tried to stop the fight and the crowd turned on them

now im sure the police had reason to intervene (altough i don't think id be in a hurry to)and it be nice to get eyewitnes account on here but i can't help fearing that innocent people may have got hurt last night(apart from the police) as did people who got themselves caught up in the lansdowne trouble at the english - irish match years ago.
as opposed to the "dame street massacre" :) there were people at that match being violent and causing havoc and there probably was also last night but several innocent people got indiscriminately batoned by over enthusatic police and i can't help but think the same probably happened last night
