Dublin residents warned after attempted abduction

Residents in North Dublin are being asked to be extra vigilant this weekend after an attempted abduction of a young girl.

The 14-year-old was on her way to meet her friends yards from her home in the Shamrock Cottages area of the north inner city when the incident occurred.

Two men in a car are said to have approached the girl and attempted to drag her into the vehicle.

Both men are thought to be non-nationals.
