Gript article that wrongly identified Parnell Square stabbing suspect is removed from site
An article published by the online news site Gript on Monday, November 27, 2023, which wrongly identified a man as the suspect in the Parnell Square stabbing, has been removed from the site.
The article, which was titled "Parnell Square Stabbing Suspect Identified", named a man who was not involved in the attack. The man, who is an asylum seeker, was subsequently subjected to online abuse and threats of violence.
Gript has since apologized for the error and has removed the article from its website. The site has also said that it is reviewing its editorial processes to prevent similar mistakes from happening in the future.
The Parnell Square stabbing took place on Sunday, November 26, 2023. Two men were injured in the attack, and one person has been arrested.
The Gardaí are continuing to investigate the attack and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Update:
On Wednesday, November 29, 2023, the Gardaí released a statement saying that they had arrested a second person in connection with the Parnell Square stabbing.
The man, who is in his 20s, was arrested in Dublin city centre. He is currently being questioned at a Garda station in Dublin.
The Gardaí are continuing to appeal for witnesses to come forward.
