Shocking video shows man being beaten and stabbed with pitchforks in Co Offaly
Shocking footage of a man being assaulted in Tullamore
Shocking footage showing a man being beaten with baseball bats and stabbed with pitchforks in broad daylight in Tullamore, Co Offaly is being circulated on social messaging platforms.
The clip shows a number of men and women, armed with a variety of weapons, running after a man in the Arden View estate in the town on Wednesday afternoon.
The victim can be seen holding a weapon as he runs down a street while being chased by a group of people.
They eventually catch him, knock him to the ground and hit him with baseball bats.
The man is then struck several times as he is lying on the ground and as the attack continues, one man appears to be telling others to stop and the men run away.
However, a number of women then approach the scene and kick the victim on the ground, before picking up the fork and assaulting him with it. In other footage, a male voice can be heard saying: "They have him boys, they're going to kill him."
