Two held after suspected hit foiled
The courageous officers grabbed the two men late on Wednesday night after their patrol car was badly rammed by the men’s stolen car.
The uniformed officers had been responding to an alert that two men had been waiting in a car outside a house in the Clonshaugh area of north Dublin. Their target was a man in his 20s living nearby. That man is the younger brother of a gangland figure gunned down in a north city pub last April. That shooting had been a reprisal for a shooting attack the year before on another inner city gang.
