Three gardaí were injured as they tried to arrest a man in Cabra, Dublin 7, early this morning.
Officers tried to detain the man on Fassaugh Avenue shortly after 1am, but a number of other people got involved and attacked the gardaí, one of whom was a student garda.
Three men - two aged 30 and one 20 - were eventually arrestted. Two will appear in Dublin District Court, and the third man was released without charge. A file is being prepared for the DPP.
The gardaí were taken to the Mater hospital, and one of them is believed to have a broken jaw. One of them was later released from hospital.
Garda Commissioner, Fachtna Murphy, condemned the attack on two members of An Garda Síochána and a student Garda.
Speaking after visiting the gardaí in hospital he said: "I want to condemn this attack on three gardaí, one of whom was a student garda, in the early hours of this morning while they were going about their duty protecting the community."
