GARDAI have launched a probe after shots were fired at two men along a busy Irish motorway.
The incident occurred along the M50 on Tuesday night.
The incident started at 10.30pm in the Ballymum area while the two victims were sitting in their car.
They were approaching the road to the M50 northbound when two other men began to chase after them in a car
Six shots were fired in total as the men were subsequently chased along the busy motorway.
The chase continued on to Clonshaugh roundabout and then onto the N32 towards Malahide.
One bullet hit and smashed the rear window of their vehicle near the Northern Cross area of Malahide.
Later technical examinations of the vehicle established that at least one bullet had hit the car.
After escaping the pursuit in the Kinsealy area the men drove to Malahide Garda Station.
It is believed they abandoned their car there and ran on foot.
There were no injuries reported as a result of the horror gun chase.
It is understood Gardai have now launched a probe in to the shooting that occurred on Tuesday.
At present it is believed the incident is related to a low-level feud in North Dublin.
Gardai have been contacted for a statement.
