Four teens arrested after joyriders ram into garda car in Cherry Orchard

Four teenagers have been arrested by officers investigating an attack on gardai in west Dublin.

Joyriders rammed into a garda car as a mob cheered them on during the terrifying incident in Cherry Orchard on September 19. Two female officers who were in the garda car were assisted by support groups and counselling services following the attack.
