A man is due to appear in court this evening after a garda was injured while trying to seize a car in Kildare.
A garda was hospitalised with head and upper body injuries after he was dragged by a car who was fleeing officers in Kildare. The incident happened on the R403 close to the Barberstown Roundabout in Straffan at around 11:45pm on Friday, when gardai from Leixlip stopped the car. Officers were in the process of seizing the car under the Road Traffic Act when the driver "fled the scene".
A man in his 20s was arrested on Saturday morning and has since been charged. He will appear before Naas District Court at 7:45pm tonight. Witnesses and drivers with dash-cam footage are being urged to come forward.
