This garda and GAA star was recovering last night – after he was savagely assaulted by a gang who threatened him with a gun and doused him in petrol.
“He is lucky to be alive,” a source said as detectives hunted the gang behind the brutal attack on Padraig Scott in Co Cavan yesterday.
Garda Scott, who has played intercounty football for his native Roscommon, was beaten around the head in the attack close to Loughan House open prison at Blacklion.
