Blood covered the floor and walls of the public office of a garda station as a stabbing victim stumbled inside after a horror knife attack on the street outside.
The innocent man came back into Finglas Garda Station after he was attacked at a nearby bus stop on Liam Mellows Road on Wednesday evening.
Sources have said that he sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the attack that has been linked to an ongoing feud in Corduff.
A source said: “This man was dropping in clothes to a relative who was in custody in connection with an investigation into a feud in West Dublin.
“The man, who was totally innocent and was doing his son a favour, suffered stab wounds on the road outside.

The gunman sprayed bullets at two men standing outside Riversdale Community College as parents were getting ready to collect children.
