Funny set of pictures. Some drunken clown. Via boards.ie.

A lot of people were down the Spanish Arch drinking. Suddenly this guy started taking off his clothes and getting down to his boxers (like in the pictures). So the guard tried to stop him, only the dude started fighting back and tried to push the poor guard into the Claddagh. At which point he took out his mace, sprayed him in the eyes, took out his baton (as you can probably see in the second last picture there), and hit the guy once or twice.

Once he hit the guy, a group of about 20 people who had been sitting on the steps drinking, stood up and started yelling for him to stop. Probably came very close to a mini riot had the guard continued.

After about 5 minutes backup arrived and everything went back to normal.

I should probably add that what you can’t see in the pictures is that the guard almost went into the Claddagh. Maybe about 2 steps more and he would’ve been in.
