Two men and a woman, aged in their 20s, were arrested following the assault and false imprisonment of a 19-year-old man in Co Cavan over the weekend. The young man is currently being treated in hospital.
Gardaí investigating a video circulating on social media messaging apps arrested the two men and woman on Monday, on suspicion of an offence under Section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997.
A 25-year-old man was charged on Tuesday evening and is due to appear before Carrickmacross District Court at 10.30am on Wednesday.
The other two people have been released and a file will be submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
