DUBLIN, Feb 11 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Police said they detained a man in Dublin after three men were wounded, two seriously, as local media reported that the victims had been stabbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports said there was a heavy police and emergency service presence at the scene in the Stoneybatter area of the Irish capital after what appeared to be a random stabbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A male, aged in his late 20s, has been arrested and is currently detained,” police said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Three males, whose ages range from mid-20s to mid-40s, who were assaulted in the course of the incident have been taken to hospital for treatment,” it said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of them had “serious but not life-threatening injuries”, while the other’s wounds were “less serious”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Irish Times reported that the suspect had stabbed “the victims using regular household implements”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least one of the victims was attacked while in their doorway, the newspaper said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police at this stage did not believe there was any terror link, it added, citing sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police “believe the suspect acted alone and are increasing their visibility in the area to reassure the community,” said the police statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I saw a lot of garda (police) cars arrive really fast. They all jumped out at exactly the same time. I saw a guy running and they dived on him outside a house,” one resident said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He just screamed and screamed and screamed ‘leave me alone.’ He was terrified, like someone who wasn’t expecting that to happen. And then it all stopped,” she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our thoughts are with the victims of the shocking attacks in Stoneybatter earlier Sunday,” Ireland’s taoiseach (prime minister) Micheal Martin said in a message posted on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I want to pay tribute to the (police) and emergency services for their prompt response,” said Martin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I wish all those injured a full recovery and urge anyone with any information to contact (police),” he said. — NNN-AGENCIES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
