Three children ‘fell to the ground’ one after the other as five people were wounded when a knifeman launched an attack in Dublin today, witnesses have said.
A woman and a man were also among the injured, police said. One of the children, a girl, and the woman suffered ‘serious’ injuries. All five have been taken to hospital.
Passersby overpowered the assailant outside a school and were able to disarm him, witnesses have said. A man has been taken to hospital following the incident, with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar saying a suspect had been detained.
‘Five casualties have been taken to hospitals in the Dublin region. One girl aged 5 has sustained serious injuries. Garda Síochána is not looking for any other person at this time.’
