A man has been arrested by Gardai investigating a public order incident in Wexford Town on Monday.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to reports of a suspected brawl on South Main Street just after 12pm.<\/p>\n
Alleged videos of the incident online show children nearby while others are forced to walk around the scene.<\/p>\n
A man in his 40s was later arrested by Gardai in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n
He has been charged and is due to appear before Wexford District Court at a later date.<\/p>\n
Gardai say investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
It’s the latest in a long line of anti social behaviour issues affecting the town with many residents and business groups calling for action.<\/p>\n
A group representing shop owners in Wexford Town says the town needs an increased Garda presence during weekend nights.<\/p>\n
The Wexford Retail Crime Prevention Forum says businesses are being affected by the rise of anti social behaviour in the area.<\/p>\n
The group says unsupervised groups of young people regularly engage in vocal intimidation, property damage and challenging passers-by.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a\u00a0Labour TD says a mass gathering of representative groups needs to be held in the town to discuss the issues.<\/p>\n
George Lawlor says a new approach is needed to tackle the problems which are on the rise in the area.<\/p>\n
That report was funded by the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested by Gardai investigating a public order incident in Wexford Town on Monday.
