Gardaí investigating a shooting incident in Dublin yesterday in which two men were injured have appealed to the public for assistance.
The men were treated in hospital after a shot was fired at them from a shotgun as they stood in the doorway of a house in North Circular Road at about 2am.
One of the men suffered a gunshot wound to his upper body. The second man, who is not believed to have been hit by the shot, received a head injury while evading the attack. Neither man is said to be in a life-threatening condition.
Detectives from Fitzgibbon Street arrived on the scene in a patrol car and chased the suspected attackers on foot.
Two were arrested in Simmon’s Place, while the third was later captured in Healy Street by gardaí assisted by the Air Support Unit.
The three remain in custody at Store Street and Mountjoy Garda stations under Section 30 of The Offences Against The State Act. Two are aged 20 and the third man is 18.
Anyone who was in the Summerhill or North Circular Road area between 1am and 2.30am yesterday morning or who may have information relating to the shooting is asked to contact gardaí.
