The event took place in Dublin’s Parnell Square. According to preliminary information, five people, including three children, were stabbed and were hospitalized.
Local police had already detained the attacker, but the story did not end there – by the evening, anti-Islamic protests began in Dublin, as Sky News writes, organized by “far-right forces.” The protesters have already fought with the police and caused anarchy – they set fire to cars, trams and buses.
Yesterday afternoon, passers-by were attacked near the school. Five people were injured, including three children. Two people – a five-year-old girl and a 30-year-old woman – were seriously injured.
The attacker was detained, after which rumors spread that he was an immigrant from Algeria. Towards evening, riots began in Dublin, escalating into clashes between demonstrators and police. Protesters set off fireworks and threw flares at police.
In addition, videos of a burning police car, a double-decker bus and a tram are being circulated online. Cases of looting have also been reported.
Protesters were reported to have chanted anti-immigrant slogans. At the same time, the police refused to comment on the nationality of the detained attacker.
