A garda remains in hospital this morning after he and his colleague were seriously assaulted in Ballyfermot in Dublin last night.
The two gardaí, a man and a woman, responded to a public order incident outside a pub.
The male garda was attacked, punched, kicked and knocked to the ground as the assault continued.
The female tried to intervene but was attacked and dragged away by the hair.
Armed response and other garda units arrived and three men were arrested.
Two are still being detained this morning.
Both gardaí were taken to hospital for treatment.
The female officer was discharged from hospital but will have to attend further clinics.
The attack was also filmed and posted on social media.
Local Sinn Féin councillor Daithí Doolan has condemned the attack and has described the level of violence as deeply worrying.
