A garda has denied that the passenger of a car tried to get out of the vehicle rather than attacking him and instead has said that both the man and the driver tried to throw him out of the moving car.

Garda Conor Murray told the trial of the driver Jonathan Coelho (aged 29) and the passenger Federico Carvalho (aged 31), that the two men repeatedly struck him as he struggled to prevent himself being thrown out of the car.
