Gardaí have arrested and charged a man in his 20s following a road traffic incident in County Carlow on Saturday night that saw four members of An Garda Síochána hospitalised.
While on active patrol, gardaí attempted to stop a car on O’Brien Road, Carlow, at around 9pm on Saturday night, October 5.
The vehicle failed to stop and was driven dangerously, striking several garda vehicles before being successfully intercepted a short time later.
The driver, a male in his 20s, was arrested under the Road Traffic Acts and brought to a garda station in county Carlow.
The other occupants of the car were uninjured.

Following the incident, four gardaí were taken to St Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny for medical assessment, where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The arrested man is scheduled to appear before a special sitting of Waterford District Court at 3pm this Sunday afternoon.
Investigations are ongoing.
Gardaí are now appealing for witnesses to come forward, and are particularly appealing anyone with camera footage, including motorists with dashcam footage, to make it available to the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Carlow Garda Station 059-9136620, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
