here were dramatic scenes on Kilcoole’s main street on Tuesday after a chase led to a car being overturned and two men fleeing the scene in balaclavas.

It was reported by one witness that the men in question were armed with baseball bats.

According to Darragh McCann in The Bray People, a source revealed, “It appears lads in balaclavas in a jeep went to put the frighteners on a man and he was running away. The jeep then got involved in an accident and overturned.

“Nobody was injured and investigations are ongoing.”

The two men in balaclavas fled on foot in the direction of Druids Glen, whilst the driver of one of the vehicles was taken to hospital for treatment.
