RAIL SERVICES WERE delayed in the Greystones area during rush hour this evening after a wanted man ran onto the tracks to evade gardaí.
There was a warrant out for the man’s arrest and when gardaí gave chase he ran onto the tracks. The incident happened at around 6.30pm and gardaí followed the man and arrested him on the line.
Irish Rail said services resumed shortly after the incident with some delays.

another young fella gone off the rails.
Gardaí on the right track, again.
he’s innocent I tell you! this is a blatant mis-carriage of justice..
This thread is getting a little derailed…
Delighted they railed him in!
there are scangers on the south side? ….I’m shocked. …what’s the world coming to?
Ever watch Tallafornia?
ye except as far as I know , none of them were actually from tallaght !
mark. …I missed that one as I was reading descartes I got from the colour library
Greystones isn’t on the “south side”. It isn’t even in Dublin….
Well done our Gardai but also time such criminals be made pay the real economic cost of the disruption they cause, directly deducted from welfare or wages
Apparently this sign isn’t as irrelevant as I thought:
Thankfully there is a happy ending on this story, maybe not for the lad that was arrested, but could have been a lot worse for him had he fallen on the tracks……The speed the trains go, they cannot stop instantly..
That lad is loco, motive unknown!
Something exciting happened in Greystones ?
It was the end of the line for that lad
Caught by the Gardai after he ran out of steam, ha!
Why would you run onto a railway track to avoid 2 pimply low IQ 20 year olds sitting in a squad car outside a Topaz station though…..?
have your say
