He sustained non life threatening injuries.
A garda's been injured after being doused in accelerant in an assault in County Cavan.
It happened in the early hours of the morning in the Blacklion area.
At around 2am, a Garda on patrol in the Loughan, Blacklion, area contacted colleagues looking for help.
He was disorientated and unable to explain the exact circumstances of events taking place.
When other Gardai arrived at the scene he was found in a disorientated state, his uniform was covered in an accelerant, and he had suffered physical injuries.
The Garda was taken to Sligo University Hospital for treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
The scene in County Cavan has been sealed off for examination and Gardai are appealing for information.
They want to speak to anyone who was driving on the N16, Cavan, passing Loughan House Prison or the R206 and R207 between 7 pm yesterday evening and 3 am this morning to contact them.
Gardai say the motive for the attack is yet to be determined.
The Garda Representative Association say the horrific and vicious assault once again highlights the dangers faced by its members while on duty on a daily basis.
