This shocking video shows the moment two groups of teenagers clashed armed with knives and pipes.

Up to 80 students were involved in the vicious brawl in a north Dublin housing estate.

The footage, which was sent to the FM104 Phoneshow with Chris Barry, shows a number of black and white students beating each other in what was understood to be a pre-arranged fight.

Young children are seen brandishing steel pipes while an older teen is shown brandishing what appears to be a blade as he threatens another youngster just feet in front of him.

The fight lasted nearly four minutes as terrified children played on a nearby green.

Neighbours described how they saw the shocking attack unfold.

One worried mother said: "It’s frightening. It’s absolutely shocking. There would have been young children playing on that green seeing all that happen.

“It was a full on fight. The guards arrived and everyone was able to run off then. Luckily they arrived in time.”

The shocking incident first came to the attention of the public after the video was sent into the FM104 Phoneshow with Chris Barry.

While the latest attack has been described as “race related”, there have been other flare ups which have been described as “normal teenage fights”.
