Migrant From Brazil Charged over Stabbing Spree Attack in Dublin

A migrant from Brazil has been arrested and charged in connection to the mass stabbing attack in Dublin on Sunday.

Gabrial Fereira Motta Valladares, 29, a Brazillian national, has been charged with two counts of assault causing harm and weapons possession over a boxcutter and scissors, the Irish Times reports.

He is alleged to have committed the assaults with the sharp instruments on Oxmantown Road and Niall Street in the Stoneybatter area of central Dublin on Sunday.

Valladares, who is said to have lived in Ireland since 2022, claimed to have no income and therefore relied on taxpayer-funded legal aid during his court appearance.
