DUBLIN (Reuters) -An Irish police officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries following an unprovoked assault by a man in central Dublin on Tuesday, police said.

Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin said on social media platform X that he was appalled by the "shocking", unprovoked attack on an on-duty officer.
