Two in court after garda was injured in patrol car ramming

Two men in their 20s were arrested and are being held at Ashbourne Garda Station.

TWO MEN ARE due in court after a Garda was injured when a patrol car was rammed in Dublin yesterday morning.

It happened in the Glasnevin/Whitehall area when officers were monitoring a jeep in Hillcrest Park at around 6am Thursday.

Two men attempted to gain entry into a house in Whitehall and a shop in Santry but were unsuccessful in both attempts.

At around 6am gardaí signalled for two men in a black 4 X 4 to stop,which it failed to do.

Garda units then followed the vehicle onto Glasnevin Park where it rammed a Garda Patrol car and an officer was injured, but not seriously.

The jeep then fled the scene but it was intercepted a short time later in Ashbourne in Co Meath.

The two men, in their 20s, will appear before Cavan District Court today.
