A sex offender wanted by police in the UK has been arrested at Dublin airport attempting to board a flight to Dubai.
Mian Shahid was detained by Gardaí at 20 to 11 last night, and is being held at Clontarf Garda Station ahead of a special sitting of the High Court later today.
The 19 year old was arrested after a request for assistance by UK police and on foot of a European warrant, when it emerged he may have travelled from Scotland to Ireland.
Before his arrest, Shahid was last seen in the Foynes areas of Limerick on the 11th of August.
The Pakistani national was convicted of sexual assault in England in April and was sentenced to two and a half years in jail.
