Man hospitalised after stabbing incident on Talbot Street last night

A MAN HAS been hospitalised following an incident involving multiple people – several of whom were armed with weapons – on Talbot Street in Dublin last night.

Video clips being circulated of the incident show multiple people receiving blows, and one person being stabbed in the abdomen area.

Afterwards – once both the victim and the man brandishing the weapon had fled – a pool of blood was visible on the footpath.

One of the weapons involved appeared to be a long blade.

All of this took place in front of a pharmacy.

A Garda spokesperson said that they are investigating an assault that occurred on Talbot Street last night.

Gardaí received a report of an assault of a male at roughly 9.25 pm, the spokesperson said.

A man in his 30s was taken to the Mater Hospital for treatment of injuries, the spokesperson said.
