Riots in Dublin after knife attack on children
Following a knife attack in the center of the Irish capital Dublin that left several people - including three children - injured, serious riots broke out on Thursday evening.
As reported by Irish broadcaster RTÉ, two buses and a police car were set on fire and a store was looted. Police officers were also attacked and bottles thrown at them.
A police spokesperson blamed the attacks on far-right hooligans who committed serious acts of violence. "We are calling in reinforcements to deal with this," the spokesperson said, according to RTÉ.
A five-year-old girl and a woman were seriously injured in the afternoon attack. Two other children were also slightly injured. The suspect arrested at the scene is also said to have serious injuries.
