This is the shocking image of what unfolded during an alleged assault in Dun Laoghaire last weekend.
In CCTV footage widely shared on social media, a man and a woman can be seen wrestling with a third man on the pavement on Lower George's Street in Dun Laoghaire. The incident occurred at approximately 8pm on Saturday December 7, 2024.
The video, which lasts 61 seconds, shows what appears to be a couple wrestling with a man wearing a black hat. As the man in the hat struggles with the other man, the woman tries to intervene but in the melee both the woman and the man in the hat lose their footing and fall onto the road.
As the woman falls out onto the road a bus can be seen driving by. The woman, who collides with the side of the vehicle, comes within inches of the bus driving over her head. The bus continues out of the frame but the woman can be seen lying injured at the side of the road.
Meanwhile, a bystander intervenes by pinning the man in the hat to the ground while the other man goes to the aid of the woman.
"Gardai attended the scene and are investigating following report of an incident of alleged assault on Lower George's Street, Dun Laoghaire, on Saturday 7th December 2024," a gardai spokesperson told the Irish Mirror.
"The incident occurred at approximately 8pm. A woman (aged in her 50s) was conveyed to St Vincent's University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Investigations are ongoing. No further information is available at this time."
