Children stabbed in Dublin city centre **Read OP before posting**

Stuff happens - unfortunately it's life.

No need to panic, I would suggest, report states the attacker has been aprehended.

Best wishes to those injured etc

I didn't say there was "nothing to see here" - but theres no need to get "slightly panciky".

The judges of Ireland have no problem with people beating up people or stabbing people not to mention free legal aid solicitors who love scum bags ….our politicians will turn a blind eye ☹️

People on the reddit thread, claiming up to several kids stabbed and one man was arrested.

No confirmation on this at all, obviously lot of confusion and worry at the moment.

Absolutely horrifying news though. Hoping the kids are okay and nothing too serious or obviously fatal.

Edit: Sky News mentioning 3 kids

Sad to hear in this day in age. Hope kids are ok. This is gonna put more pressure on Harris and McEntee, absolutely useless Justice Minister. Of course the courts, judges and politicians are so far out of touch with reality.

Man arrested and is being treated at the scene for injuries, either self inflicted or someone or some people got a hold of him.

Hopefully the kids are okay, horrific for them.

Was watching parents running up to the police line looking to be let through on that TicTock video. **** hell imagine that panic...

what could you actually do to prevent some nutter losing their mind and stabbing people though? invest in mental health services? there's a guy with what looks like schizophrenia who just rambles around the streets where i live all day, that should be in a home of some sort for his own and everyone else's safety

Ok,

Of course it's not normal or expected or wanted.

However I was moreso trying to suggest that the OP may be over-reacting a but by saying their were slightly paniced by it.

Life is gonna be very difficult if something that you read online makes you slightly paniced.

There are other emotions you might go through but panic?

I suggested that the attacker was caught (which he has) and wished the injured well.

What exactly do people expect from posts on internet messaging boards these days. Thought I had covered all the bases.

IT report.

Hopefully this doesnt result in any fatal injuries. The motives for attack dont matter for the next few hours. Thoughts with families.

Apparently, this individual was disarmed by some young men who stopped the attack - well done to them, if that's the case.

Rumours that a couple of young men passing tackled the attacker and let's say 'danced on him'

A girl is apparently in a very bad way according to RTE Radio.

Please God no fatalities.

He looks deceased.

Paramedic clearly doing chest compressions on him.

Hopefully they are reunited with their children. I would not like to see anyone go through this having experienced this with members of my own family.

Feel sick thinking of this. Awful awful incident.

5 in total taken to hospital. 3 children, 1 adult female, 1 adult male

Praying for that young girl

The school only goes up to first class, the Irish Times have a picture with a paw patrol bag on the ground. Heartbreaking.

Nobody can protect you from this

Whatever the motives… the city / country has turned into some dangerous kip. It’s a shadow of Ireland 15 years ago, kip. Kids stabbed in broad daylight now ffs.

Leo and Martin won’t give a feck, they’ll pay it the usual disingenuous lip service that we’ve become accustomed to and on with the show… meanwhile others will pass it off as another mental health escapade…and wonder if taxpayers did enough for the man..

I walked from Rathmines to the city center and then later from there to Phibsboro last night and didnt see on Garda. Come to think of it I dont think ive seen a Garda in weeks and thats regularly walking from the Luas stop on O'Connell street down Talbot street to Connolly station too. Seen plenty of scrotes though.

Open to ideas about how they could've stopped this. Armed police at every school searching absolutely everyone?

Especially when the police are nowhere to be found the majority of the time.
