Witness appeal after drunken vandal assaulted two gardai

AN appeal has been issued for witnesses to an incident that occurred in Ennis in which two gardai were assaulted.

At approximately 1am on Thursday, October 27, Ennis Gardaí responded to a call of a male engaging in threatening and drunken behavior in the Woodquay area of the town.

It’s believed the man was kicking taxis and may have engaged in damaging other such property.

On arrival at the scene Gardaí met with this male who then attacked the two Gardaí. Both Gardaí were injured as a result of the assault.

An investigation is ongoing into the assault on both Gardaí and the criminal damage incidents and we are appealing to anyone who witnessed these incidents or anyone who may have dash cam or camera footage to contact Ennis Garda Station on 065 6848100.
