Still shellshocked by Tuesday night’s activities outside my Cork Street window (almost equalled on the Wednesday and Thursday), I dreaded to see what my first Friday night would bring in this pocket of madness in Dublin’s south inner city. What transpired was beyond anything I would have predicted.

The ambulance arrived, as it does every day. While the paramedics went into the flat, their ambulance was hijacked.

The ambulance was stolen in Dublin city centre last night as the crew were treating a patient in an apartment block in the Cork Street area of the city.

The vehicle was driven around the area and was damaged extensively. A number of cars in the area were also damaged.

I used to think Farranree was bad… where bored kids would throw stones at you and occasionally burn down houses for a laugh, but joyriding with an ambulance takes it to a new level (I blame GTA). Last week I was only joking about putting up the webcam, but my God… you could sell this stuff.
