One man was arrested and another was rushed to hospital after an Audi was driven into a car outside a Dublin shopping centre.
Dramatic scenes unfolded outside Citywest Shopping Centre at around 5.30pm on Wednesday as gardai say they believe the crash may have been deliberate.
Footage shows the white Audi reversing away before accelerating into the other car appearing to catch a man getting in the driver's door.
