A 14-year-old boy has been arrested in relation to a brutal stab attack which led to a 48-year-old woman requiring life-saving surgery after she was stabbed in the neck.
The teenager is being questioned today by detectives at Store Street Garda Station after his arrest last night.
He is from the capital’s north inner city and despite his young age has had previous interactions with gardai.
The woman who is originally from an Asian county remains in a critical condition in the Mater Hospital.
She is a mother of at least two children and has been living in Dublin for a number of years.
