The incident has been referred to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) as the car involved was subject to an interaction with An Garda Síochána prior to this incident.
The scene at Thomas Court was preserved for technical examination but the scene has since been lifted. Gardai are appealing for witnesses of the crash to come forward.
A spokesman said: "Any road users or pedestrians who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling in the Thomas Street/Thomas Court areas of Dublin 8 between 11pm and 11:20pm are asked to make this footage available to Gardai.
"Anyone with any information is asked to contact Kevin Street Garda Station on 01 6669400, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station."
