Gardaí have arrested a 31-year-old man following a carjacking incident in Palmerstown, Dublin.

At around 1.30am this morning, a 58-year-old taxi driver was threatened and assaulted by a man with a knife.

The taxi driver was taken to Ballyfermot Garda Station where he received medical treatment for his injuries which are described as non-life-threatening.

Members of the Garda Regional Support Unit intercepted the taxi at a filling station near Maynooth, Co. Kildare, shortly before 8am.

A man is being detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at Lucan Garda Station.
