Gardaí had been responding to a report of an e-bike causing a disturbance in Porterstown Park, Dublin 15.

The garda was taken to hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and has since been discharged.
Gardaí are appealing to witnesses to come forward.
Anyone who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) from the area at the time is asked to make it available to gardaí.
