A woman in her sixties has managed to escape after a man tried to force her into the boot of a car in Dublin 7.
The attempted abduction happened in the Martin's Grove/Blackhorse Avenue area at half seven this morning.
The suspect drove towards the city centre, in a car described as a silver family saloon.
It drove away via Blackhorse Avenue, and may have turned left and driven onto the Navan Road.
It is believed the suspect was wearing a white t-shirt and dark trousers.
Gardaí are appealing to speak with witnesses.
They also want anyone with dash-cam footage of what happened to hand it in.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Blanchardstown Garda Station on 01 666 7000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
