Irish pub customers tackle armed robber until gardaí arrive

THREE customers in an Irish pub tackled and held an armed robber until gardaí arrived. 

The customers were in a pub on Firhouse Road in Dublin when they foiled the attempted armed robbery last night, shortly before midnight.

A man in his 30s has been arrested in connection with the incident.

The man went into the bar shortly holding what is believed to be a firearm.

He threatened staff and demanded money, but three customers challenged him and held him until the police arrived.

A gun was recovered from the scene and has been sent for technical examination.
