Yesterday evening, 10/05/2023, at approximately 11.15pm, uniform Gardaí responded to a call of a female acting in a threatening and erratic manor at a domestic residence at Clare Street Limerick.
On arrival at the location, uniformed Gardaí spoke with an adult male who had received minor injuries to his arms. A female remained in the domestic residence and had access to domestic knives and was acting in a threatening manner. Another adult male was also present in the domestic residence with the female.
Unarmed uniform Gardaí were supported by the Garda Armed Support Unit. Following an intervention by the Armed Support Unit, including the deployment of a Taser, the female (aged in her thirties) was arrested for an offence contrary to the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act 1990. The female is currently detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Limerick Garda Station.
Both males received medical attention, for minor injuries, by paramedics at the scene.
Investigations are ongoing.
