A man has been arrested after a tractor crashed into a garda car in Co Kerry this afternoon.

Gardaí were called to the village of Rathmore where they pursued a tractor that failed to stop for a garda car on the road.

The tractor was then driven across the street and crashed into a second patrol car before it was reversed out and driven away.

It was pursued by gardaí and a man in his 60s was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, criminal damage and endangerment.

He received medical assistance and is being questioned in Mallow Garda Station.

No one was injured in the incident.
