Major garda operation in Dublin following 'barricade' incident
The man was arrested
A man, aged in his 30s, was arrested after barricading himself inside a property in Dublin.
Earlier this morning, Wednesday, September 12, a man barricaded himself inside a property on the Rathmines Road Lower in Dublin 6.
An Garda Síochána initiated its Operational Command protocol, appointing an On-Scene Commander. Local Garda negotiators from the National Negotiators Unit, along with several other Garda units, attended the scene. A cordon was put in place.
The incident was resolved shortly after midday following negotiations.
The man involved, aged in his 30s, was arrested at the scene as part of ongoing investigations into alleged offences contrary to the Non Fatal Offences against the Person Act. He is currently detained at a Garda Station in the DMR.
The road has since re-opened to traffic. Investigations are ongoing.
