Gardaí have launched an investigation after a video emerged of a teen appearing to threaten a Dublin Bus passenger with a screwdriver.
Clips of an incident appearing to show a teenage boy threatening a fellow passenger on the bus were uploaded to TikTok last Saturday, though it's unclear if it happened that day.
The teen can be seen brandishing a screwdriver and a pair of vice grips.
He also hurled homophobic and xenophobic slurs at the man, who's from Ukraine.
Dublin Bus is also carrying out an internal investigation and told us:
"Dublin Bus is aware of footage showing an incident in which a passenger was threatened. We are conducting an internal investigation, and can confirm that we are providing assistance to An Garda Siochana in relation to this incident."
In a statement the guards said:
"An Garda Síochána is aware of a video of an incident that occurred on a Dublin Bus service, and which is in wide circulation online and through direct messaging apps.
"An Garda Síochána is investigating all of the circumstances surrounding the incident."
Video of the incident has already been viewed 11 million times on X.
