The incident occurred on Thursday of this week.
Gardaí are investigating criminal damage to an official Garda van that took place this week.
A Garda patrol van with two uniformed officers was on patrol at Buttercup Park in Darndale, when it was involved in an incident with another car.
At approximately 11:20pm on Thursday 29 August, a loud noise was heard before the car took off from across a nearby field in the direction of the Malahide Road.
The patrol van was later inspected and two indentations consistent with gunfire were discovered on the driver’s door.
No one was injured and both Garda members involved remained on duty.
The van has since been removed for technical and forensic examination.
Investigating Gardaí are appealing for witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room at Coolock Garda Station 01-6664200 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
