A male individual, approximately aged in his twenties, is due to make a court appearance at the Criminal Courts of Justice this morning. This is in relation to a recent occurrence on O’Connell Street that resulted in a Canadian traveller sustaining severe injuries.
At the early morning hour of 1am on Sunday, 23rd June, the local police force was alerted about two separate incidences involving multiple individuals on Cathal Brugha Street as well as the upper part of O’Connell Street. Law enforcement managed to arrest two individuals close to where the incidences were reported.
The Canadian traveller, a male aged in his forties, was immediately transported to the Mater hospital, where he received treatment for his considerable injuries. Since the incident, there have been a total of four arrests made.
A male, around his thirties, was let go without facing any charges this past Monday. There will be a case prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
During the recent Biden-Trump debate, Biden’s performance faltered, leading to growing demands for him to step down as the Democratic crisis looms.
On Thursday evening, this previous week, another male, again in his twenties, was detained by the police for assessment. This individual, expected to be in court on Friday morning, has been charged in light with the incident.
The local authorities are eager to get in touch with any witnesses who were near the Living Room Bar in the Cathal Brugha Street region between 12.40am and 1am.
