According to reports from the Dublin Police, the suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, stabbed a woman, a man, and three young children before being subdued by local residents. All five victims were rushed to Dublin’s Mater Hospital with serious injuries. The suspect is also being treated at the same hospital, and police have not ruled out a potential terrorism link to the attack.
