Man accused of knife attack at Dublin airport denied bail 

German tourist required 12 stitches after random stabbing last week 

A man has been denied bail for the random stabbing of a German tourist outside Dublin airport last week.

A random knife attack on a German tourist repeatedly stabbed at Dublin Airport was "a cry for help" from a man "driven to despair" after being made homeless, a court heard.

Kasonga Mbuyi, 51, whose latest address was a hostel on Clare Street in Limerick, was charged with assault causing harm, unlawful possession of a penknife as a weapon, and carrying an article with intent to cause injury outside the departures lounge at Terminal 1 on September 17.
