Man being questioned following attempted robbery in Dublin

A man is being questioned after staff foiled an attempted robbery in Dublin yesterday.

The raider threatened staff with a hammer and demanded cash at a shop on the Old Swords Road in Santry, but fled empty-handed after a struggle.

He then ran towards a car, assaulting the female driver, before being tackled again by staff and passers-by, who held him until Gardai arrived.

A 29-year-old man was later arrested and taken to Ballymun Garda Station where he was detained overnight.
