Gardai at the scene of this evening's incident
A man was in garda custody on Sunday evening after a violent public order incident in the middle of a town in the Midlands.
A number of officers were called to an alleged disturbance along the Dublin Street area of town shortly after 8pm on Sunday.
That resulted in a man in his 20s being arrested at the scene and transferred to Longford garda station where he was in detention this evening.
A video appearing to show a number of officers attempting to restrain the man on the ground during the incident was later posted on social media.
A garda spokesperson confirmed to the Longford Leader that enquiries, though at an early stage, were ongoing.
