Two Gardaí had to flag down a taxi after reportedly being assaulted and having their equipment stolen in Dublin city.
Both members were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
A male (aged in his 30s) was arrested and has since been charged in relation to this investigation.
The male is due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice (Court number 3) this morning, Monday 21st July 2026 at 10:30am.
This incident unfolded on Aston Quay near Temple Bar at around 4am yesterday morning.
According to the Irish Independent, two Gardaí on patrol engaged with a man, before the situation escalated, and officers attempted to restrain the individual with their batons and pepper spray.
It's reported he attacked the Gardaí and fled the scene with some of their equipment, including a Garda radio.
The paper reports there was no patrol car available to attend the scene and the officers were forced to flag down a taxi and search for the man, who was eventually tracked down and arrested.
The Garda Representative Association says there's never a reason or excuse to attack Gardaí.
It's raised concerns gaps in personnel are emerging as Gardaí police EU Presidency events, with not enough cover to deal with serious public order incidents in the capital.
