Driver who dragged garda along with his van and struck second garda during chase is jailed for four years

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Nebojsa Rasic, 26, dragged a garda along in his van as he attempted to stop the reckless driving.

Rasic's response to being approached at traffic lights involved an abrupt stop, which led to the garda's arm getting caught in the vehicle's window.

As Rasic fled, he also threw packages of cannabis from his van, some striking the windscreen of pursuing gardaí, highlighting the reckless nature of his actions.

The court sentenced Rasic to four years in prison for his dangerous actions that endangered both the life of the garda and the public.
