(posted on December 16, 2025) shares a video claiming to show a man attempting to stab a Garda (Irish police officer) in Dublin. The attacker fails to seriously injure the officer due to body armor, a bystander tackles him to the ground, and arriving officers strike him repeatedly while subduing him.
Video DescriptionThe footage shows:
  • A man lunging with a knife at a uniformed Garda on a street.
  • The officer defending himself.
  • A male bystander intervening by knocking the attacker down.
  • Additional officers arriving and using batons on the suspect.
  • Several women in the crowd attempting to pull the officers away or shield the suspect.
The post's caption praises the bystander and calls for more "justice" against the attacker.Public ReactionsReplies to the post are polarized:
  • Many support the officers' actions and the bystander, criticizing the women who intervened (e.g., calling it "suicidal empathy" or blaming them for societal issues).
  • Some compare it favorably to U.S. policing, saying the attacker would have been shot there.
  • A few question if it's staged or express concern about excessive force.
Context and VerificationAs of December 17, 2025, there are no confirmed news reports of a Garda officer being stabbed or attacked with a knife in Dublin on or around December 16, 2025.Recent similar incidents in Dublin include:
  • A July 2025 unprovoked knife attack on a Garda on Capel Street (officer injured but protected by vest; suspect arrested).
  • A February 2025 random stabbing spree in Stoneybatter injuring civilians.
No official Garda statements or media coverage match the details, location (appears to be a Dublin street with red-brick buildings and high-vis Garda vests), or timing of this specific video.This could be older footage being recirculated, misdated, or unverified viral content. Always cross-check such videos with reliable sources like An Garda Síochána statements or major Irish news outlets (e.g., RTÉ, Irish Times) before drawing conclusions.
