A man who smashed the windscreen of a patrol car and later punched a garda in the face has been jailed for 16 months.
Thomas Doyle (26) was spotted by Garda John Ryan driving in the Crumlin area. The officer, who was a passenger in a marked patrol car, indicated that Doyle should pull over as he knew he was a disqualified driver.
