Two due in court over patrol car ramming incident

Two men are due in court in Dublin this morning in connection with an incident in which a Garda patrol car was rammed.

The incident occurred on Wednesday night when uniformed officers were called to the Clonshaugh area.

Gardaí say that on arrival they approached a car, which then rammed their patrol car.

An 18-year-old man was detained at the scene, while a second man, aged 22, managed to escape but was arrested a short time later.

Gardaí say a loaded revolver was recovered in the car.

Both men will appear before Dublin District Court at 10.30am this morning.
