Gardai currently remain at the scene and have cordoned off a section of the city centre street as they continue their investigations.

This morning, blood stains could still be seen on the pavement as commuters made their way to work.

A garda spokesman told the Sunday World that they are investigating a suspected assault.

He said: “Gardaí are investigating an alleged assault which occurred on Talbot Street, Dublin 1 last night, Thursday, 7th November 2024.

“A man (20s) was brought to the Mater Hospital to be treated for injuries which are believed to be non life-threatening.

“Investigations are ongoing.”

Talbot Street has been the scene of a number of violent incidents in recent months.

Last month, a brutal brawl involving two gangs took place in broad daylight as innocent bystanders and kids watched on in horror.

The vicious fight involved five men and spilled onto James Joyce Street onto Talbot Street.

As a mum and her baby ran for cover, the men punched and kicked each other and at one point, thug can be seen picking up what looks like a weapon.

In June it was announced that Dublin City Council invested €2.5 million into rejuvenating the Talbot Street area through maintenance works that were ongoing throughout the summer.

A spokesperson for the council said that despite Talbot Street being home to many historic businesses and transport hubs including Connolly Station and Busáras, the area has faced “many challenges in recent years”.

This week, Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has said there has been a rise in aggression and “challenging behaviours” in Dublin city centre.

She revealed there had been more than 12,000 people have been arrested in Dublin city centre since January,

“We’ve seen a particular increase in the theft of goods and items, but we’ve also seen a change in people’s behaviours,” she said on Thursday.

“People would recognise that there’s more aggression out there, that there is changed behaviours and challenging behaviours that we hadn’t seen before.”
