A pair of garda vehicles were damaged and an officer injured during an incident in Dublin today that later saw two men arrested.
Several bottles and missiles were thrown at the plain clothes officers in Ballyfermot earlier on Monday. The clip shows one officer retreating after he appears to be hit in the face with a bottle.
Several people then appear to run at the officer’s colleague – who withdraws his Asp baton to protect himself, although he does not strike anyone. The crowd taunts the officers as they withdraw to the safety of their unmarked car – with the driver still having his baton extended and ready to use.
