A 51-year-old man has died after he suffered serious injuries following an interaction with gardai in Dublin city centre.
The man was involved in an incident with gardai close to the Holiday Inn on O’Connell Street last Friday.
Fiosru, the Office of the Police Ombudsman, is independently investigating the incident and said it has commenced a criminal investigation into it.
It said the incident, which happened on O’Connell Street at around 4.15am, involved the serious harm of the man, who later died.
Fiosru said that one of its on-call team of investigators attended the scene.
It has been liaising with the Dublin City Coroner and the Office of the State Pathologist in relation to a post-mortem examination.
Fiosru has appealed for any witnesses to the incident to come forward.
This includes any passing vehicles, including taxis that may have dashcam footage from that location or on a mobile device.
Anyone with information which may be of assistance to the independent investigation is asked to contact Fiosru at 0818 600 800 or info@fiosru.ie
The investigation team and its family liaison officer are working directly with the man’s family.
The gardai are legally required to report any incident involving death or serious harm to the ombudsman if it happened following an interaction with a garda member.
