GARDAI have launched a probe after a gang of teens attacked staff and punters during a mini riot inside a Chinese takeaway.

The Irish Sun can reveal up to 50 young men from one crew were involved — some armed with crowbars and baseball bats.

The incident happened inside a restaurant in Ongar Village, Dublin, at around 11pm on Sunday.

Four men, all aged 18 and 19, were assaulted and injured at the scene while the premises was also damaged.

Gardai are becoming increasingly concerned with the young gang’s activities in the area.

The Irish Sun can reveal the thugs have been involved in a number of incidents of intimidation and threats to locals.

A source said: “These young men are known for causing trouble and are very aggressive. And the incident on Sunday highlights that.”

Local Green Party Cllr Roderic O’Gorman, who was re-elected at the weekend, condemned the incident.

He told the Irish Sun: “It’s hugely concerning to see this sort of violence happening in the middle of Ongar Village.

“It’s clear Garda resources need to return to Ongar as soon as possible.”
