Man who had neck slashed open in random 'knife attack' shares photo in pub hours later downing pint

One of the victims of a weekend stabbing in Dublin has shared snaps of his gruesome injury online.

Cormac took to Instagram to show off the aftermath of the violent attack, which took place in the Irish capital on Sunday (9 February).

Three men were injured during the incident, and they were taken to hospital following the knife attacks, which took place across a number of streets in the Arbour Hill of the Stoneybatter area at around 3pm, Sky reports.

The suspect, who is in his late 20s, was detained and held at a station in the north of Dublin shortly after the attacks.

On Sunday, a spokesperson from An Garda Siochana, the Irish police force, added: "Three males, whose ages range from mid-20s to mid-40s, who were assaulted in the course of the incident have been taken to hospital for treatment, two males for serious but not life-threatening injuries, one male with less serious injuries.

"All three males remain in hospital receiving medical treatment at this time."

Cormac was one of those mentioned, with the incidents believed to have taken place in three locations on the North Circular Road, Oxmantown Road and Ben Eadair Road, report the Irish Times.

It is believed that one of the victims was attacked in the doorway of his own home.

Cormac posted three pictures on social media, showing followers the stitches in his neck after receiving treatment in hospital, even drinking a pint while taking the snap.

"Throat stitched up. Attacker in custody. Beers on Tap. We live to see another day," he wrote.

He also posted a photo with blood dripping down his neck with a screenshot of a news publication reporting that a man was attacked by his own front door, with the caption 'stay active', suggesting that it was him.

Traffic restrictions were lifted by 5pm, as the force believed that 'the suspect acted alone', as they asked for witnesses to come forward with any information or video footage.

A Garda spokesperson explained on Sunday: "A man has been arrested and is currently detained at a Garda station in the North City under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984...

"Anyone who was in the Stoneybatter area between 2.30pm and 3.30pm, who may have any video footage linked to this incident, is asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bridewell Garda Station or any Garda Station."
