Four teenage boys have been arrested in connection with the ramming of a Garda car in Ballyfermot two weeks ago.

Footage of the alleged incident in Cherry Orchard on September 19th, 2022, was shared widely on social media.

The footage shows two cars speeding through the Ballyfermot housing estate in the early hours of the evening.

As a Garda car arrives with its lights flashing, both cars continue to drive erratically, refusing to stop for the officers.

One of the cars then rams the garda vehicle head-on as onlookers cheer.

This morning, four teenage boys were arrested as part of an investigation into the “endangerment of Gardaí and related incidents in the Cherry Orchard area”.

They were detained after an operation involving officers from Ballyfermot, Clondalkin and Rathcoole Garda Stations.

They are being held at different Garda stations in Dublin.

Investigators are continuing to appeal to anyone with any information on the incident to contact them.
