The stabbing of four people this Thursday in Dublinthree of them minor, has caused serious disturbances in the city center, in which “thugs” from the “extreme right” have taken advantage of this incident to attack the Irish Police (Garda) and destroy public transport and street furniture, according to law enforcement sources.
The multiple stabbing that occurred today after 1:30 p.m. GMT, for which a five-year-old girl is in serious condition, was followed in the afternoon by a demonstration by anti-immigration groups around the scene of the incident, north of the capital. .
The rally soon degenerated into attacks on the Garda with bottles, fireworks and other artifacts, until it spread to other parts of Dublin where crowds of young people began to burn police cars, buses and trams.
The mob, distributed along different streets, also looted several downtown stores and forced his way into a large shopping center, as shown in dozens of videos posted on social networks.
The images circulating from cell phone to cell phone also captured several attacks by groups of young people against police officers who were isolated due to the confusion of the riots, described by the political class and authorities as the worst ever seen in this country.
