It is understood that an altercation involving a group of individuals took place in the car park of a premises on Headford Road in the city, during which a vehicle was driven recklessly at a group of people.

Gardaí believe the violent clashes between two rival factions in the car park, when a car was twice driven into a crowd of people at speed, are linked to a gang fight in the city days earlier.

They are particularly appealing to those who were in the College Road and Headford Road areas between 5.45pm and 6.45pm on Sunday evening and observed any violent behaviour to contact them.

Additionally, individuals with camera footage, including dash cam recordings, from the area are urged to provide this material to the gardaí.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Galway Garda station at 091 538 000, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
