An infant is in a stable condition in hospital after being injured in an incident involving a scrambler in Ballyfermot, west Dublin on Thursday evening.
A woman in her 20s was seated with the male infant, believed to be 18-months old, on a stationary quad bike in Cherry Orchard Park at 7pm when a scrambler struck the bike, gardaí said.

The suspected driver of the scrambler, a man in his late teens, was taken to St James Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The scene has been preserved for technical examination. The scrambler involved in the collision had been removed from the scene before gardaí arrived.
