A juvenile has been arrested in connection with the incident.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána has confirmed that a 20-year-old man was stabbed to death in the Ballybough House area of Dublin on Wednesday night (15 April).
Gardaí were called to the scene of an assault at approximately 10pm last night, where the man was discovered. The man was treated at the scene by Gardaí and emergency services, and was removed to the Mater Hospital. However, he later died from his wounds.
One youth has since been arrested by investigating Gardaí and he is currently detained under Section 4 of Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at Mountjoy Garda Station. An incident room has been established at Mountjoy in order to investigate the incident.
According to Gardaí, the office of the State Pathologist has been notified and a post-mortem will take place in due course, though no date has been confirmed for the examination.
Gardaí are now appealing to anyone who was in the area of Ballybough House who may have witnessed the incident or can assist Gardaí to contact them at Mountjoy Garda Station on 01 6668600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
