Six people were arrested after a high speed chase which ended in a car ramming two garda vehicles in north Dublin last night.
The pursuit started at around 9 pm after gardai saw a car driving dangerously in the Cardiffsbridge Road in Finglas.
During the course of the chase the car collided with two garda vehicles before being “contained” in the Abbotstown Avenue area, Dublin Live reports.
The driver of the car, a man in his 30s, was arrested and taken to Blanchardstown Garda Station.
He has been charged in relation to dangerous driving offences and will appear before Blanchardstown District Court this morning.
Five passengers, including one man aged in his late teens and four men in their 20s, were also arrested and taken to Blanchardstown Garda Station.
They have since been released from custody.
There were no injuries to gardai reported.
Assistant Commissioner Pat Leahy, Dublin Region said: "I commend the members of An Garda Síochána who dealt with this reckless and dangerous incident tonight.
“This incident clearly demonstrates there are a minority in our society who have no regard for public safety on our roads but also have no regard for Public Health during this COVID-19 emergency.
“The message from An Garda Síochána is that we are fully resourced and will take all proportionate and legal action to protect the public health of our communities at this time."
