Gardaí are currently investigating an incident whereby an Irish Rail security personnel was the victim of assault and false imprisonment.
The incident occurred at approximately 5am on December 5th, at Kilbricken, Mountrath, Co. Laois.
The victim is a member of the security personnel employed at the Irish Rail compound in the area.
