Palestinian given suspended sentence for high-speed chase
A young Palestinian man who led pursuing gardaí and the garda helicopter on a high speed chase through the city centre, driving on the pavement and the wrong way up one-way streets, has received a two-year suspended sentence.
Naeem Salem (aged 22) of Castlefield Court, Clonsilla but originally from the Palestinian Territories, said he panicked on seeing gardaí because he had no insurance and sped off.
