Gardai have arrested a man in Co. Kilkenny this afternoon after an alleged abduction attempt in Co. Laois earlier today.
It is understood the man was driving around the midlands in a stolen jeep, begging for money. This morning, he allegedly approached two children in Cullahill, Co. Laois, and put a young girl in the back of the jeep.
However, the girl was able to escape when her 10-year-old brother jumped on the man’s back.
