A Dublin man has been sent forward for trial accused of stabbing a tourist at the Swedish House Mafia concert in the Phoenix Park last summer.
22-year-old Raymond Donnan of Greenfort Crescent in Clondalkin is charged with violent disorder and assault causing harm to 28-year-old Andrew England on July 7th.
The repeated stabbing of Mr. England was one of several incidents at the Swedish House Mafia gig that resulted in a garda review of security at this type of large-scale outdoor concert.
Mr. Donnan is charged with violent disorder at the Phoenix Park and with assault causing harm to the Isle of Man tourist who had intervened in a row.
Other charges dropped
The Director of Public Prosecutions (PP) has decided to drop 3 other charges against him.
Two were public order matters and the 3rd was production of a knife.
Mr. Donnan is on High Court bail and was in court today dressed in grey tracksuit bottoms, a red hooded top and trainers.
Garda Shane McCartan told the court that he has been served with the book of evidence.
The DPP directs trial on indictment and Judge Bryan Smyth has sent him forward to the current sittings of Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
