An Irish police officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries following an unprovoked assault in central Dublin on Tuesday. The officer was stabbed several times when responding to reports of a man with a knife, according to police.

The incident occurred while the officer was on a routine high-visibility patrol on Capel Street, just a short distance from the bustling O'Connell Street. The attacker was apprehended on the scene, and police have yet to provide further details about the nature of the attack.

Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin expressed his horror over the “shocking” and unprovoked attack on an on-duty officer via the social media platform X.
