A garda was assaulted in Bray yesterday evening by a man who "became aggressive" and "resisted arrest".
The incident happened at around 8:30pm after gardai responded to reports of theft from a retail premises on Castle Street. Video footage of the incident shows two gardai trying to detain the man in the middle of the road.
One of the officers is then struck in the face by the man after repeatedly ordering him to "get down on the ground". At the end of the clip, it appears the officers used pepper spray in an attempt to detain him.
