The incident happened at around 10.45pm on Thursday with the Chaplin taken to University Hospital Galway where he was treated for his injuries which are described as serious but not life-threatening.

Defence Forces members fired warning shots and restrained the teenager at the scene, who Gardaí then arrested.
