Garda suffers injuries at hands of burglars for second time in 4 years

A young garda has suffered serious head injuries for a second time at the hands of burglars.

Garda Karen Duffy escaped with her life after teenage burglars slammed their stolen car into the door of her patrol car yesterday, inflicting deep cuts to her face and head.

The early morning incident in Swords, north Dublin, comes four years after Garda Duffy’s car was rammed by burglars on nearby Malahide Rd.
