Gardaí have confirmed that a man aged in his 50s has been arrested in connection with an attack in Co Roscommon last month.
The 54-year-old man was arrested in Co Mayo and is being questioned by gardai.
The arrest comes after eight security men, hired in connection to KBC bank repossession of a home in Roscommon, were injured in an attack which occurred in Falsk, Strokestown, on December 16th.
It is believed that a group of men armed with baseball bats attacked security personnel occupying the home after a family were evicted by KBC Bank.
A number of vehicles were also set in fire during the incident.
Gardai say the man is currently being detained at Castlerea Garda Station under the provisions of Section 30 – Offences Against the State Act 1939.
