A man was arrested and charged in connection with a vicious attack in Cork earlier this week.

A video of an incident has been widely shared on Twitter, Facebook and Whatsapp over the last few days with many concerned for the welfare of the victim.

The video shows one man being chased out onto the road on Camden Quay, just outside Gala and across the bridge from the Opera House, and being hit repeatedly.

A number of cars can be heard beeping at the men before one picks up the other and appears to slam him head first into the ground - the man then appears unconscious.

A man in his 20s was arrested in connection with the incident and has since appeared before Cork City District Court.
