Dublin school stabbing suspect to be arrested 'within days' after attack on woman, kids ignited riots: report
Fox News
The man accused of stabbing a woman and three children outside a Dublin school last month will soon face charges after waking from a coma, reports say.
The assailant, initially identified by local outlets as an Algerian immigrant in his 50s who has lived in Ireland for 20 years and became a naturalized Irish citizen at some point, is accused of plunging a knife into the chest of the five-year-old outside the Dublin school. The attacker soon allegedly turned his knife on a school caretaker, Leanne Flynn Keogh, who intervened. The woman remained in critical condition for more than a week afterward, but she reportedly has since been moved out of intensive care at The Mater Hospital, and is still recovering, according to the Irish Mirror. A six-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy were also injured, but they both were released from the hospital within days of the incident.

The man, badly beaten by passersby who jumped into action, had been in an induced coma for a number of days after the attack but is now awake, the Irish Mirror reported Monday. Irish police, known as gardai, are looking to question the suspect as soon as medical professionals deem fit and are expected to arrest the suspect "within days," according to the outlet.
