According to local reports, eyewitnesses said the suspect was wielding a large knife and was eventually tackled by a passers-by before police arrived on the scene and arrested him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All five victims were transported to different hospitals across Dublin, including Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin and the Mater Hospital, according to RTE, Ireland\u2019s semi-state broadcaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A motive for the attack is unknown and police are understood to be ruling out terrorism.<\/p>\n

Parnell Square East was busy at the time, RTE reported.<\/p>\n

It is unclear if the victims attend the school, Gaelscoil Colaiste Mhuire, which is located in the city center.<\/p>\n
