Gardaí fear more attacks similar to Cork incidents amid 'culture of on-street drinking'
A youth was arrested and questioned by gardaí on Tuesday night after a flare was lit in a crowded area on Washington Street.
Gardaí are gravely concerned about the level of violence by young people on the streets, according to the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors.
The deputy president of the association, Sergeant Alan Cronin, said gardaí of all ranks are at risk of coming under attack, judging by two incidents in Cork in recent days.
