Shocking stuff.

Dublin Fire Brigade has taken to Twitter to condemn an attack on one of their ambulances in the city centre last night.

According to the post, one ambulance crew member was injured after a projectile was fired at the vehicle from a slingshot.

The post reads, “Overnight one of our ambulances in the city centre was hit by a slingshot & projectile resulting in an injury to a crew member. Dublin Fire Brigade condemn these incidents which are unacceptable & wish our colleague a speedy recovery.”

The ambulance in the photograph is not the ambulance that was attacked last night.

Minister for Health Simon Harris also condemned the incident, referring to it as “despicable.”
