Gardaí are investigating reports of a group of men seen fighting in Bettystown, Co Meath, on Sunday afternoon.

A video circulating on social media shows about 10 men engaging in a brawl at a zebra crossing on the Coast Road, as passersby look on.

One man holds up what appears to be a large garden shears, while another brandishes a long blade.

A person can be heard shouting: “Drop the weapons, boys.”
