Justice Minister Simon Harris says his thoughts are with a Garda, injured during an attack while on duty in Dublin yesterday.
The Garda suffered a serious 'bite' injury to his finger and hand, after responding to a dangerous-driving incident at Gulliver's Retail Park in Ballymun.
Minister Harris says we must remember the dangers all Gardai face when doing their job to keep us safe - and he's encouraging witnesses to come forward.
The injured Garda is being treated at Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown, and a man in his 30s has been detained for questioning.
