Boy runs into busy M50 traffic to escape stabbing as three teens held at knifepoint at Glencairn Luas Stop, Dublin

He tried to flag down a car before eventually one driver stopped and rescued the boy

A young boy fearing for his life ran into the middle of busy M50 traffic to escape being stabbed as he and his two teenage friends were held at knifepoint at a Luas stop.

The three teens got off the Luas at Glencairn on December 29 at 2:40pm when a man in his early 20s approached the boys and pulled a knife on them.

He demanded their wallets but the teens decided to run in different directions with the thug focusing his sights on just one of the teens.

The boy was chased down into Mount Eagle Drive in Leopardstown before escaping through the Sandyford exit and running into manic M50 traffic to seek help.

He tried to flag down a car before eventually one driver stopped and rescued the boy.

The thug gave up the pursuit and headed back in the direction of the Leopardstown Racecourse.

A spokeswoman for the Gardai confirmed the incident to Dublin Live and said: "Gardaí attended an incident that occurred near the Glencairn Luas stop, Leopardstown on December 29 at approximately 2.40pm.

She concluded: "No arrests were made and investigations are ongoing."

Just posted an article about that. It's getting like the Clare Manor was in my youth, a total cesspit... should be bulldozed. I believe it was Tallaght -vs- Blanchardstown this time. Did you see all the Garda cars, I didn't think they had that many in the whole country, like something you'd see on US TV.

Ten firearms and a quantity of ammunition have been seized by gardai in north county Dublin.

They were found during a targeted search of a rural area yesterday evening by gardaí attached to the national drugs and organised crime bureau.

The seizure is now subject to a technical examination.

Assistant Commissioner John O'Driscoll has described the seizure as "significant".

"The undertaking of the operation leading to the discovery of a significant quantity of firearms and ammunition, yesterday, reflects the fact that An Garda Síochána's unrelenting efforts in tackling serious and organised crime will continue unabated into 2020."
