A man has handed himself into Gardaí after a shocking video of a racist attack on a taxi driver went viral.
In the video which has been shared hundreds of times on social media, a man sitting in the front passenger seat can be seen shouting a number of racial slurs at the taxi driver.
He then punches the driver a number of times before demanding the driver gets out of the car while claiming to be “a police officer”, though Gardaí have confirmed that he is not a member of the force.
A statement released by Gardaí read, ‘”Gardaí in Clontarf are investigating the alleged assault of a taxi driver that occurred at approximately 10pm on the Malahide Road, Donnycarney on April 21.
“A suspect in the case has presented themselves at a north Dublin Garda station and gardaí are following a definite line of enquiry.
“Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Clontarf garda station 01 6664800 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
“As the investigation is ongoing we will not be commenting further at this time.”
They have also asked that the video not be shared any further while the investigation is ongoing.
