Bedlam unfolded at well-below breackneck speeds in Cork, Ireland, last night when four apparently drunken men took a scissor lift for a joyride.

The group gained control of the utility vehicle, which was stationed in a quayside, at around 8.30pm and drove it around the city centre.

They are heard triumphantly shouting while waving their arms about as they careered down a street.

At one point the vehicle veers towards the pavement and only narrowly avoids hitting a pedestrian by crashing into a bollard.

Earlier two of the men had been seen hanging off the back of the lift while the other two manned the controls driving along a road.

A bridge was reportedly damaged when the men attempted to drive the vehicle over it into another part of the city.
