Gardaí are continuing to question a man (27) in connection with a carjacking in Dublin.
A woman in her 30s - who is seven and a half months pregnant - was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when it was hijacked on Hill St, near Mountjoy Square, at around 3pm yesterday.
Her partner was a nearby parking meter when the car was taken.
The woman sustained head injuries after the carjacker, who was armed with a blood-filled syringe, tried to push her from the moving vehicle by punching her in the face.
A garda patrol car pursued the vehicle and a man was arrested after a brief chase on foot.
The woman was taken to the Rotunda Hospital, where she was treated overnight.
The man is being questioned at Store Street garda station. Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
