A 6 year old boy has been jabbed by a used syringe on a Dublin Bus.
The child was pricked by the needle on the Maynooth route.
A Dublin Bus Spokesperson confirmed that the incident happened on January 9th at 5:10pm when the boy was jabbed with a needle left on a seat.
The terrified child was taken off the 66 B at Lucan Road and rushed to Tallaght hospital.
The other passengers were also removed and transferred to a different bus.
An internal investigation is underway.
It's not the first time a passenger on the city's public transport network has found a syringe.
In 2005 a 15 year old was jabbed by a needle on a bus and a child picked up a used syringe on the Luas in 2012.
