Gardaí are trying to track down a driver after a garda suffered significant tissue injuries when he was dragged “a considerable distance” by a car. The young uniformed garda tried to get the driver to stop his car before being dragged by the vehicle and falling on the road. In a comment on social media, the Garda Representative Association said: “Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the garda injured on duty in Dundrum, Dublin. "It shows the dangers our members face daily.”Last May, a garda received serious injuries when he tried to apprehend a driver who was fleeing gardaí at Birdhill, Co Tipperary. The garda was dragged along by the jeep and received multiple injuries, including facial injuries and fractures.
