Riots hit Dublin after five, including children, injured in knife attack

A knife attack left five individuals injured, including three young children on Thursday, in Dublin, Ireland. The incident triggered riots in the city center. Authorities are currently exploring various motives, including the possibility of it being terror-related. 

Public transport was suspended and patients advised not to travel to a nearby maternity hospital unless absolutely necessary after clashes between riot police and anti-immigrant protesters.

The unrest -- the worst in Dublin in years -- came after a five-year-old girl sustained serious injuries in a suspected stabbing in Parnell Square East, north central Dublin. Two other children and two adults were taken to hospital after the incident occurred.
