A slingshot was used in the incident which happened in Dublin City Centre last night.
It has been highly condemned on social media, with Health Minister, Simon Harris among those to voice concerns.
Despicable behaviour. Sending best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to the member of our emergency services https://t.co/pHuia8PWDN
