The officer, who was with a colleague, was attacked after responding to a call at a business premises in the Blanchardstown area of the capital at 3.45am on Thursday morning.
After arriving at the building, the suspect lunged at one of the officers and slashed him on the arm.
The thug – who has previous convictions for violence – was later arrested.

“The male Garda received medical attention at Connolly Hospital and has since been discharged following treatment.
“I wish to commend my colleagues for their courage and professionalism in the face of such adversity.
“Attacks on members of An Garda Síochána are entirely unacceptable, and sadly, becoming far too common.
