New Video: When snowball fights go wrong, the Gardaí are called.

The snow was a gift to to the kids who hang around Grand Canal Dock.

Unfortunately, fun snowball fights soon descended into near-assaults on passing pedestrians. Those snowballs pack quite a punch when slammed in your face.

Eventually the Gardaí were called. The kids legged it ... but something tells me they'll be back.
