- BY NIALL O’CONNOR

THIS is the shocking moment a mobster viciously attacked a defenceles­s man with an iron rod.

The horrific incident happened in recent days in the Northside area of Dublin.

The victim was assaulted by the thug, who is reportedly linked to Wayne and Alan “Fatpuss” Bradley, after a dispute erupted outside a house.

In the footage, an accomplice holds the victim while the gangster, a pal of slain gangland general Eamon “The Don” Dunne, repeatedly batters him.

Holding the weapon with both hands, he puts huge force into his strikes as the man recoils in agony.

A source said: “There is no explanatio­n for the beating but the theory is that the man may have been hanging outside the house and the thug got paranoid that he might be a look out for a gunman.

“He may have fallen foul of the thug over money but this is how gangs operate.” The Irish Mirror has learned the victim sent a message apologisin­g to the gangster.

The source added: “He sent a video apologisin­g to the man who gave him a beating – it is crazy stuff.

“It has been put it to bed but this shows the pressure they are under in the gang – discipline is immediatel­y administer­ed.

“Needless to say there is no complaint to gardai but the situation is being monitored.” Wayne and Alan Bradley Victim is defenceles­s to the attack with iron rod The mobster has been targeted for death by thugs linked to the Kinahan crime gang.

Accomplice holds victim ahead of attack in Spain. He left his area vacant and the young thug is now trying to take over – they have put the Bradley brothers and their associates in their sights.

During a court case surroundin­g a heist at a Tesco store Alan Bradley was said to be second in charge of the Dunne operation.

The Don was ultimately gunned down leaving the two brothers as the de-facto leaders.

But they have fallen foul of powerful figures in Irish gangland and now have a massive threat against their lives.

Reports have recently claimed Alan “Fatpuss” Bradley, lives in constant fear of assassinat­ion, has been spotted in disguise to avoid the attentions of a gunman.

The gang has secured their homes with bullet-proof glass and reinforced doors and have surrounded their properties with CCTV cameras.

Garda armed patrols circle the house regularly in a bid to thwart a murder bid.
