Violence erupted in Dublin last night following a knife attack near a school that left three young children injured.
Approximately 100 masked individuals clashed with riot police, engaging in looting and setting a double-decker bus on fire in response to the incident.
Two adults, a woman in her 30s, and the suspected attacker were also injured.
Riot police faced taunts and fireworks from the crowds, resulting in the most significant unrest in the city in years.
The aftermath included burnt vehicles, looted stores, and extensive police presence, with 34 arrests reported.
The incident stemmed from a suspected stabbing near O'Connell Bridge, leading to serious injuries for a five-year-old girl and hospitalization for two other children, the woman, and the alleged perpetrator.
Amid speculation about the attacker's nationality, some in the crowd attributed blame to 'migrants' for the incident.
