A garda responding to reports of a disturbance in Blanchardstown, Dublin, on Friday was struck by an e-bike that failed to remain at the scene.
Gardaí are now appealing for witnesses to the incident, which occurred after officers responded to a report of the e-bike causing a disturbance in Porterstown Park at about 2.30pm.
A Garda spokesperson said a member approached two males on the e-bike and directed them to dismount. The bike accelerated, striking the garda, before leaving the scene.
The garda was taken to hospital for treatment for injuries that are not life-threatening. He has since been discharged.
