A garda has been brutally assaulted and left with a damaged eye socket and concussion after an “out of the blue” attack in Dublin.
The officer, who was responding to a call on Berkeley Street in the Mountjoy area in Dublin, was set upon and subjected to a vicious assault at around 11:15am this morning.
The unprovoked attack saw the officer, who is based in Mountjoy Garda Station sustain a damaged eye socket and facial injuries that have seen him needing stitches.
The officer was taken to Dublin’s Mater Hospital and has since been released to recover at home.
However the horror assault has now left the garda having to take time off work to recover – as he’s also suffered a suspected concussion from the attack.
The shocking assault was condemned today by the Garda Representative Association (GRA).
