In the Irish capital of Dublin, a man stabbed three people with a kitchen knife on Sunday afternoon, possibly selecting his victims at random.

The attacker, who had his face covered, has been apprehended.

A local resident witnessed the arrest on Manor Street, stating, 'I saw a lot of police cars arriving very quickly. I saw a man running away. He was shouting to be left alone. Shortly after, he was handcuffed and taken away.'
