Brave Citizens Stop Brutal Attack | Cork News

A 52-year-old man with no fixed address was convicted of attempted murder and assault after launching a brutal attack on three children and a creche worker in Dublin’s Parnell Square East. In a harrowing moment, the attacker stabbed the worker, Leanne Flynn, who suffered life-threatening injuries including a severed diaphragm and spleen removal. But ordinary citizens rose to the occasion: a 17-year-old French student disarmed the attacker, a Brazilian delivery driver struck him with his helmet, and others helped subdue him. Their split-second bravery saved lives and turned a nightmare into a story of collective courage — praised by the court and the community alike.
