Gardaí investigate hijacking of food delivery driver's motorcycle by group on scrambler bikes

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after the hijacking of a food delivery driver's motorcycle by a group of youths on scrambler bikes. 

According to Gardaí, the incident occurred on Cheeverstown Road in Tallaght, Dublin on Sunday January 1, 2023 at approximately 3.10pm. 

It’s understood the man - aged in his 20s - had been carrying out food deliveries in the area when he was forced from his motorcycle and assaulted by the group.

One of the youths drove away from the scene on his motorcycle, which was later recovered by Gardaí having been abandoned on the N81. 

The injured man is continuing to recover from the incident and has since received medical treatment for his injures.

Investigating Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward and are particularly appealing to those with video footage (including dash cam) from Cheeverstown Road or surrounding areas at the time to make contact with them.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Tallaght on 01 666 6000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
