Following Sunday’s knife attack in Stoneybatter, Dublin, a man has been remanded in custody.
Gardaí responded to a serious incident on Sunday, following reports of attacks at different locations.
Gabrial Fereira Motta Valladares appeared in court this afternoon visibly upset and crying.
The Judge was told he is facing four charges; the possession of a scissors, the possession of a box cutter knife and two counts of assault causing harm.
The court heard he replied, “I was afraid to be killed” when one of the charges was put to him.
The 29-year-old has an address at Broadstone Avenue in Dublin 7 but is originally from Brazil and required a Portuguese interpreter.
His solicitor, Michael French, said there would be no application for bail at this stage and requested his client receive immediate medical attention.
The accused was remanded in custody to appear in court again next Tuesday.
