A suspected makeshift petrol bomb attack on a Dublin chipper on Wednesday night left staff and customers terrified. At around 8pm last night, staff and customers witnessed a man clad in black approach the premises on St Peter's Road in Walkinstown, Dublin 12 before he lit something on fire.
In footage seen by Dublin Live, the alleged attacker is shown to be holding what appears to be a type of makeshift petrol bomb as he enters the building, he then throws the bottle-shaped device at staff behind the counter. With shocked customers running away, a quick-thinking staff jumped to extinguish the flames as the shop filled with smoke as a member of the staff sprayed the blaze with an extinguisher. Gardaí are investigating the incident, confirming that no arrests have been made yet.
