The Irish Mirror has learned that gardai this morning arrested a man, an Irish national from west Dublin, suspected of ramming several Garda cars and knocking down an officer during the course of a shocking incident in Castleknock, west Dublin on...
Gardai have located and arrested a suspect after a man who was armed with a sword ran over a Garda earlier this week.
Gardai had, at the time, been responding to an alleged domestic abuse incident when a man armed himself with a sword, got into a vehicle and rammed several Garda cars. GRA representative for the DMR West, Detective Garda Mark Ferris said: "It is deeply regrettable that yet another young Garda has been injured while on duty. While trying to affect an arrest, the armed assailant struck the Garda with his car and went on to ram other patrol cars as he fled the area.
"As a representative for Garda members, it is incumbent on me and the GRA to highlight the ongoing law and order crisis afflicting the State. As public servants on the sharp end of the criminal justice system we are vulnerable to the flagrant lack of regard a minority of violent criminals have for the conventions of civilised society.
