Gardaí arrest man after attempted armed robbery in Dublin

Gardaí in Dublin have arrested a man after an attempted armed robbery in the city.

The attempted robbery took place at around 12.30pm yesterday at a premises on Berkely Road.

They have since charged a 44-year-old man in connection with the incident, and he will appear in court this morning.

It is alleged that the man produced a gun from a bag after entering the premises, threatened staff and demanded cash.

He left empty-handed and as a Garda car was responding to the incident they saw a man nearby and arrested him.

They recovered a firearm and the man was arrested and taken to Mountjoy Garda station where he was charged.
