The young male is now being detained at a Garda Station in West Dublin under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

Alanna was treated at St James’s Hospital and the Dublin Eye & Ear Hospital and is now recovering at her home in Ballyfermot.

The boy she was with suffered stab wounds to his arm and has also since been discharged from hospital.

The pair were assaulted by a group as they got off a bus at around 9.30pm.

Gardaí have said that investigations are ongoing.
