Knife attack in Dublin: Swiss victims among the injuries!

In the Irish capital Dublin, a dramatic knife attack occurred in Stoneybatter on Sunday, in which a man was killed and three other people injured. The police confirmed that the arrested attacker and one of the victims are Swiss citizens. Both are also affected by Swiss double-Irish citizens who had only recently traveled to Ireland. A report by Krone describes that the deed was carried out with a normal household knife, which reinforces the brutality of the incident.

The attack occurred in the early afternoon when a victim was attacked in a house entrance. An eyewitness reported a quick reaction from the police who sent several officials to the crime scene. The Irish head of government Micheal Martin also spoke of shocking events and wished the victims a quick recovery. The police are chasing the call to possible witnesses, while several places were sealed off during the investigation, such as OE24 . Despite immediate resuscitation measures, the rescue workers came too late to save the life of the killed.
