It must be stated from the outset that this report is not officially confirmed at this time.
The Liberal understands through a number of Garda sources that the man who stabbed a woman and three small children in Dublin is an Algerian migrant.
Again, this is not confirmed, but The Liberal understands that a woman accidentally bumped into the migrant and he took out a knife and stabbed her and three children with her.
One of the children was stabbed in the head, but the real concern is for the third child who is said to be rushed into emergency life-saving surgery at this time.
The Liberal understands that a delivery driver, possibly Brazilian, intervened and beat the man away using his bike helmet.
Facts and details are changing rapidly. This story is developing.
