Shocking: Innocent homeless man pelted with eggs by a gang of youths who shouted “have some food”




In a truly shocking and sickening story a homeless man in Dublin was disgracefully set upon by youths who shouted “have some food”.

The shocking incident apparently happened on Lord Edward Street at 12.15am on Friday morning when the youths pulled up alongside the homeless man before they sped away.

The appalling incident was witnessed by Dublin City Councillor Christy Burke who was was working with the charity Inner City Helping the Homeless when he saw three men pull up in a car.

Clllr Burke said: “They stopped and pelted the eggs at the homeless man, they were laughing and telling him to have something to eat.

“It was absolutely disgraceful, they are low-life cowards.”

An infuriated Burke added the man calmly cleaned himself off after his tormentors shamelessly sped away in what looked like a beige Audi. “He said he was used to thugs who do things like that,” he explained.
