A garda is recovering after his nose was broken in a vicious assault during a Garth Brooks concert.
The Irish Mirror has learned the officer was rushed to hospital for treatment following the attack during Saturday’s sell-out gig by the American singer in Croke Park. The superstar, 60, was performing in front of 80,000 adoring fans at the Dublin headquarters of the GAA.
Sources say the officer, who is based in Mountjoy district that is responsible for policing in the area, suffered a broken nose in the incident. He was attacked when he was on duty at pitch level for the concert – one of five dates the performer is playing in the capital.
