A protester from Stoneybatter was accosted by private security, which I will not name but whose name I have, in a very serious incident. In his words, "I was walking up Prussia Street, heading towards the North Circular Road at approximately 8.10 a.m. on 11 December 2014, and noticed three men in front of me who kept looking behind at me suspiciously. As I proceeded about my business the three men in question stopped. One guy, in particular, wearing a black hat and a black scarf covering his face, turned back and started to walk towards me. As you can imagine, I felt quite frightened by this behaviour. He started to shout at me saying: 'You would want to watch yourself; you do not know who you are messing with.' Subsequently, one of the other men approached me, pinned me to the wall. He too was threatening me."
