Congolese man accused of stealing dies after being restrained by security guards In Ireland

A Congolese national has died after being restrained by security guards outside a department store in Dublin, Ireland, following an alleged shoplifting incident.

The man, identified as Yves Sakila, aged 35, was pronounced dead in hospital after the confrontation outside Arnotts on Friday afternoon.

According to reports, Sakila had been accused of stealing perfume bottles from the store when security personnel intervened and detained him outside the premises.

Footage circulating online reportedly shows him being pinned to the ground by several men for nearly five minutes. During the restraint, one guard appeared to place a knee on his upper back or neck area while bystanders, including families with children, watched the scene unfold.

Witnesses said Sakila could be heard shouting while security guards instructed him to “stay down.” After several minutes, he reportedly became unresponsive, at which point the guards released him. One security worker was later seen visibly shaken while making a phone call.

Irish police confirmed that security staff detained the man shortly after 5 p.m. in connection with the alleged theft. He later lost consciousness at the scene and was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
