The Garda member received injuries to his face during the incident and lost a number of teeth.

A man in his 30s is due to appear at Trim District Court today charged in relation to an assault on a Garda.

“This highlights the dangers our frontline members face at any time of the day or night at the coalface in towns all over the country,” James Morrisroe of the Garda Representative Association said.
