The incident happened at a service station in Dublin on Wednesday afternoon
A man has been arrested after an on-duty member of An Garda Siochana was injured in a road traffic incident at a service station in Dublin.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses following the incident which happened at North Road, Finglas at around 5.45pm this Wednesday.
"While on routine patrol, gardaí attached to the Finglas Drugs Unit observed two motorbikes at a petrol station on the North Road which were believed to have been subject to an unauthorised taking. When gardaí approached them, the motorcyclists drove off and in the course of doing so struck a member of An Garda Síochána," said a spokesperson.
According to the Garda Press Office, the male member, aged in his 30s, was conveyed to the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injury.
A man, aged in his 20s, has since been arrested and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a garda station in west Dublin.
