The cars used during a dangerous and reckless race in a west Dublin community last night were left to burn in the local park following the shocking scenes.
A garda vehicle was rammed during the carnage which saw two cars racing dangerously while crowds looked on and cheered. While there were no injuries reported, gardai were appealing to witnesses to come forward last night.
Footage of the incident shows the cars racing up and down Cherry Orchard before one of them rams a garda car twice. Onlookers could be heard shouting "there's garda, ram them" as the garda car arrives on the scene.
