Nine fans stabbed in concert violence

Nine people were stabbed, two seriously, while another man collapsed and died after a suspected drug overdose at a concert in Dublin’s Phoenix Park on Saturday, with the ambulance service “inundated” with calls.

The HSE said Connolly Hospital estimates 36 people presented at its emergency department from the event, though not all would have been brought by ambulance and not all would have been injured within the concert arena.

Seven separate stabbings took place during the show headlined by Swedish House Mafia, the second of three major events staged in the park in the past week.
