Garda reacts after brutal attack (details not in article)

Two extra.ie reports dated 26 November 2023 describe a knife attack that the headlines call brutal, and one headline refers to a garda's reaction. The article bodies are empty, so the location, date of the attack, victim and suspect's name, age and nationality are not known, and the suspect is recorded only as a person. No arrest, charge, court appearance or sentence is reported. The latest development in the headlines is that gardaí are investigating whether the suspect suffered a psychotic episode before the attack.
