A man in his twenties has been arrested after trying to set gardai on fire in Kildare.
It happened in Newbridge Garda Station at 9pm last night, when a man entered the public office.
He began to spray suspected petrol on himself and at least two gardai, but was restrained as he attempted to light the liquid.
Frank Thornton, the president of the Garda Representative Association, says it’s a very disturbing and traumatic incident.
