latest first- Man remanded for sentencing after guilty plea over Dame Street stabbings Assault causing harm · Co. Dublin
A 27-year-old Somali man, Shando Alfa, was charged with assault causing harm after allegedly attacking two 18-year-old twin sisters and a male passerby with a broken glass bottle on Dame Street, Dublin, shortly before 2.30am on 4 April. The sisters had rejected his prolonged unwanted advances, and the passerby intervened before being struck in the head. He was charged at Pearse Street station, refused bail at Dublin District Court, and remanded in custody. He pleaded guilty at Cloverhill District Court in May 2026, and the DPP consented to the case being sent forward for sentencing to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where he affirmed his plea and was remanded in custody to 14 October.
