Riad Bouchaker's terrifying stabbing attack on two girls and a boy in Parnell Square East on 23 November, 2023, sparked a riot in the Irish capital. Bouchaker, 52, denied any wrongdoing during a trial at the city's Central Criminal Court. As well as the triple attempted murder, he was convicted of assault causing serious harm to childcare worker Leanne Flynn, who had collected the children from school and was taking them to their afterschool.
