A man was arrested after threatening a taxi driver with what appeared to be a gun earlier this morning.
The taxi driver, with the Radio Link taxi company, was driving near the Castleknock gate of Phoenix Park when a man in a Ford Sierra drove alongside and aimed at him with a gun. According to the taxi company, the driver heard a shot being fired, but he was not hit.
Gardai, who arrived on the scene, pursued the man into park, where they arrested him. It was not certain that a shot had been fired.
