A man in his 20s has been arrested after trying to set gardai on fire in Kildare.
It happened in Newbridge Garda Station at 9pm last night, when a man entered the public office.
He began to spray suspected petrol on himself and at least two gardai - but was restrained as he attempted to light the liquid.
Frank Thornton, the president of the Garda Representative Association, says it's a very disturbing and traumatic incident.
