Stabbing incident at Milltown LUAS station

    If you've been to the Milltown area of South Dublin, you'll know it's quite nice: one of the posher parts, on the Dodder where the SUVs roam wild, the grass is always green, and the property prices start at "unaffordable". It's on the LUAS Green line, which is the envy of commuters on the Red Line. Except that earlier this evening, security guards on a tram spotted three men fighting on the platform and got off to stop the fight.

    Turns out it wasn't just a fight: two of the men were stabbing the third, and when the guards intervened, they got stabbed and pepper-sprayed too, but managed to subdue the attackers. I walked past there an hour ago, and it was sealed off with CSIs doing their thing. It's a truly bizarre incident in all respects - the place, the day, and the circumstances. Has anyone heard anything more than is being reported in the papers?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Redline cretins must have got lost and ended on the peaceful green line.

    Hope nobody is seriouly hurt especially the Garda

    I read about gangs of "yoofs" who were grabbing bags as the doors were closing / opening at that stop. The driver led all the passengers out the front door I think. I read it on boards somewhere... see if you can find it :)

    Are they employing children to write articles now? Someone needs to proof read stuff before it goes up.

    Garda arrived to mop up, but it was two STT security guards who intervened. If they're anything like the guys I've seen before - huge Polish rugby players - the attackers are lucky they weren't stomped flat.

    From RTE

    Three people, including a security guard, have been injured in a stabbing incident following a row in south Dublin.

    It is understood an altercation between three men, aged in their 20s and 30s, was reported at Milltown on the Luas Green Line at around 8pm.

    Two of the men, and a security guard who intervened, were stabbed.

    Two men were arrested at the scene.

    None of the victims' injuries are believed to be life threatening but gardaí said the situation could have been a lot more serious had the security guard not intervened.

    The Luas stop was closed for a time for a forensic examination

    If it happened on the red line it probably woundn't even make it into the headlines.

    You wouldn't get that on your way to Tallaght, I tell you. I never feel safe on the green line. I always can't wait to be back on the red line with my own kind. :pac:

    When I read these stories I just feel disgust in the pit of my stomach. Pure and utter scumbags. Anyone who is found carrying a concealed knife should have a fixed term sentence.

    There's always been a bit of an exaggeration about the green line on boards, it's doesn't just go by mansions the whole way, plenty of the stops have nearby council estates, bound to be a few scum around(though the majority from these areas are lovely). I've seen a few assaults in Balally stop and Ballyogan Wood. Not to say it's anywhere near as bad as the red line, which needs to be policed.

    There could be any number of reasons why someone would carry a knife but is far from a Scumbag.

    Apart from a workman who carries a knife on his belt as part of a kit, I don't see the need for it really. If someone is walking around with a kitchen knife concealed in a sock however, I would hazard a guess that they are a scumbag.

    My job requires me to have a knife. People who camp, sailors, scouts all may be carrying knives.
