Gardaí are tracing the owner of a car after a 'suspicious approach' to a woman in Co Donegal.

The woman was walking alone on backroads between Dunfanaghy and Creeslough in the early afternoon on Tuesday last.

A car pulled up alongside, and a man began to shout at the woman and threaten her.

Local reports say the man tried to get the woman to get into the car, but she managed to get away from him.

The woman managed to get the make and model of the car and reported the incident to gardaí a short time later.

Apart from being shocked by the incident, the woman was physically unhurt.

It is not understood that any arrests have been made yet in connection with the incident but it is understood gardaí have identified the car involved.

A Garda spokesperson confirmed the incident.

"Gardaí received a report of an incident at Dunfanaghy, Co Donegal, at around 12:45pm on 10th June, 2025. Investigations are ongoing."
