Two Arrested Over Face Slash Attacks

Gardaí have arrested two men in connection with a knife rampage, which left several young people with stab wounds to the face.

The arrests were made this morning in the Ballyfermot and Palmerstown areas of Dublin. The men are aged 22 and 25 and are presently being held in the Pearse Street and Harcourt Terrace Garda Stations.

The victims, all in their late teens or early 20s, were injured in three separate attacks in the Temple Bar area of Dublin between 2.30am and 3am.

Due to the proximity of the assaults, between D'Olier Street and Fleet Street, and the nature of the injuries, Gardaí believed the same persons were involved.

The two men remain in custody and are being questioned by gardaí
