Riad Bouchaker Charged with Attempted Murder in Dublin School Stabbing

The attack outside a primary school led to the largest police deployment in Irish history due to ensuing riots.

Riad Bouchaker, a 50-year-old man, has been charged with the attempted murder of three children and a school care worker in a stabbing attack outside a primary school in Dublin.
The attack, which took place on November 23, led to the largest deployment of public order police in the history of the Irish state due to ensuing riots.
Bouchaker, who had no fixed abode, was also charged with assault causing serious harm to the care worker and two other children, as well as a French man who intervened to stop the attack.
A five-year-old girl and the school care worker are still critically ill and receiving hospital treatment.
Bouchaker, who was known to the police and was the subject of a revoked deportation order, is due to appear in court again on December 28.
