It's believed up to twenty people were involved in the attack.
I never understand what it means when they say the
"youths dispersed" when the Gardai arrived. Do we not arrest people attacking other people on the Luas anymore ? ? https://t.co/pKzIQb81dT— Glenna Lynch (@Glenna_lynch) September 28, 2021

A number of Garda units attended the scene.
In now-deleted Tweets quoted in The Mirror, an eye-witness claimed;
"Several members of the gang have knives and are chasing people on the street. This is terrifying. Where are the police !!?"
He went on to describe the chaos that unfolded;
"There was a lot of screaming and shouting, fighting, pushing, that kind of thing.
The driver called the police and he told them (the gang) he had done that, he announced it over the loudspeaker"
