Criminal damage was caused to taxi in Kildare town last week, according to a member of An Garda Síochána (AGS).
Garda William Barry detailed the incident when he appeared on a KFM radio programme earlier this morning (August 6).
He explained that at around 11.15pm on Friday, August 1 last, a taxi driver was picking up a passenger in the town when a male passing by threw a bottle at the taxi and broke the back window of the vehicle.
Gda Barry also read out a description of the perpetrator: he is about 5 foot 8inches in height; has a big build; has short hair; was clean shaven; and wore a black tracksuit on the night of the crime.
