GARDAI are hunting a suspect after a hotel worker in Dublin city centre was allegedly threatened with a syringe.

During the incident, two suspects are alleged to have told the victim that he would be infected with HIV if he didn’t hand over his valuables.

Investigators from Pearse Street Garda Station launched a probe after the man was targeted on Exchange Street at around 11.15pm on Sunday.

The victim was assaulted during the alleged incident with the attackers punching him in the face.

He suffered a swollen jaw and had his phone stolen. However, he didn’t not lose any cash.

One man has since been charged in connection with the alleged incident in Exchange Street.

Gardai want to question the suspect they are looking for about another attempted robbery in Thomas Street on the same night.

During that incident, the victim managed to flee and raise the alarm.

Officers are examining CCTV from the area as they continue to search for the suspect.

A source told The Irish Sun: “Gardai in Pearse Street are actively searching for a suspect over two incidents on Sunday night. Officers want to question him on suspicion of robbery.”

Former Lord Mayor Nial Ring has called on Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to provide more resources for Gardai in the city centre.

The Independent councillor said: “I want to commend the Gardai for making an arrest in relation to the alleged incident in Exchange Street.

“Every day we are hearing of incidents in which hard working people have been targeted and it’s clear there is a need for more Garda resources.

“I just hope that the Commissioner listens to the views of local residents and frontline Gardai and provide the resources the city needs.”

CITY SAFETY CONCERNS

This is the latest in a spate of attacks in the city that has lead to increased safety concerns.

As a result, a number of high-ranking politicians have been forced to declare that Dublin city is safe as a result.

Earlier this summer Tanaiste Micheal Martin said he believed the city is safe after American tourist Stephen Termini was hospitalised with seriously injuries.

Justice Minister Helen McEntee made a similar declaration in the aftermath of Mr Termini’s attack.
