Two brothers who tried to "butcher" a member of An Garda Siochana "like an animal" have received combined jail sentences totalling eight-and-a-half years at the Central Criminal Court.
The court was previously told that was responding to reports a man had been stabbed in Inchicore, Dublin 8, when he was attacked by the Quinn brothers.
During the incident, Gavin Quinn, 28, pinned Gda Murphy to the ground as his younger brother, Lee Quinn, 27, tried to stab the uniformed officer in the eye with a six-inch kitchen knife and later slashed him across the head, the court was told.
