A horror incident over the bank holiday weekend saw a worker at the Mater Hospital assaulted.
The incident happened at 3:10am last Friday, with DublinLive reporting that the worker was doing their job in the emergency department.
A Garda spokesman told the publication that officers are "making enquiries" into the incident.

35 people are waiting on trolleys in the Dublin hospital as of Tuesday morning.
In total, 660 patients are without a bed in Irish hospitals today, according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO)
INMO General Secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha said: "We have seen a 15% increase of patients on trolleys in the last 24 hours with 660 patients for whom there are no beds.
"The Minister for Health needs to intervene and declare this trolley chaos for what it is - a national emergency.
"A range of measures must be taken now in the short to medium term including the curtailment of all non-emergency, elective care and the reintroduction of mask wearing in crowded and indoor settings.
"As of this morning, 7,753 patients have been without a bed in our hospitals since the mask requirement was dropped on February 28th. ESRI research published today shows that two-thirds of people are still wearing masks on public transport and when shopping. If we could increase this number through a re-introduction of mask wearing, it would help ease transmission numbers.
Only last week, the Mater were forced to ask the public to avoid its Emergency Department where possible as they cope with a Covid surge.
In a statement released on Wednesday, a spokesperson confirmed there has been a jump in cases of the virus on site.
As well as this, staff are absent due to Covid and with more and more people presenting at the Emergency Department, they’re under major pressure.
