An investigation is underway after the assault and attempted abduction of a woman in Dublin.
It happened in the Martin’s Grove/Blackhorse Avenue area of Dublin 7 at around 7.30 this morning.
The woman, aged in her 60s, was approached by a man who attempted to force her into the boot of a car.
She managed to flee the scene and the car drove away via Blackhorse Avenue towards Dublin city centre.
The car, described as a silver family saloon, may have turned left and driven onto the Navan Road.
It is believed the suspect was wearing a white t-shirt and dark trousers.
Gardaí want to speak to anyone who was in the Blackhorse Avenue area between 6am and 8am, or anyone who may have information about this incident.
They are appealing to road users who were driving in the area, who may have camera footage to come forward.
