Chair of the Joint Policing Committee in Wexford and Fianna Fáil Cllr Michael Whelan says people would feel safer with more of a Garda presence.

"Well, it is worrying that an attack like this would happen on a busy street in Wexford town in broad daylight.

"This is one of the issues that has been raised - the visibility of Gardaí - but in fairness to the Chief Superintendent it is a priority of his also where resources will allow," he said.

Gardaí say no injuries have been reported to them in connection with the incident.
