GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING a carjacking incident that occurred at St James’s Hospital in Dublin yesterday evening.
A man approached a woman and her five-year-old son on the grounds of the hospital at about 6.25pm yesterday
He demanded the keys of her car and a struggle ensued. The woman was knocked to the ground, suffering minor injuries to her hand and knee. The child was unharmed.
The suspect drove off in the woman’s car, colliding with another car and then crashing into a security barrier. The car was later found burnt out on Bonham Street, Dublin 8.
A few minutes before the incident, another female was approached in the underground car park of the hospital. A male suspect demanded the keys of her car but he was unable to start the vehicle and left the scene.
Gardaí from Kilmainham Station are investigating the incidents.

Already cringing at the lenient sentence he’ll get.
T’was me hard upbringing and I was up all night playing Gran’ Theft Auto.
@Sean O’ Donovan: What will it be like when vested interests have their NEW STATE OF ART building completed What then about health and safety?
@brian mclaughlin: a lad with 200 previous convictions will get another suspended sentence. Snooze. Should be whipped or something if he will not be jailed…which he wont
@Sean O’ Donovan: and he is turning his life around your Honor !!!
What sort of self respecting car thief can’t start a car? Anyway he’ll be on CCTV and hopefully caught. (And get a suspended sentence)
@Artur Gurta: But that’s not all—–The lawyers and barristers will get their pound of flesh, compliments of the unfortunate taxpayers!!
@John Mc Donagh: This fella needs a big hug and friendly hand shake.
A few years ago same thing happened, he crashed the car and returned to st James A&E himself!!
They charge enough for parking there to have it more secure
A fine upstanding member of society, sure you have to feel sorry for him (well that’s what the judge will be told)
My personal description might differ.
And they want the children’s hospital here
They should install CCTV and employ a couple of security guards.
A few years ago I was in a&e there myself and they robbed the parking attendant. I guess that was before they has automatic parking machines but they were not afraid even back then
Dirtbag
