Dublin resident under charges for violent assault with knife and hatchet at a homeless shelter denied temporary release on bail
In the latest development of the case, Stephen Crosbie, a 43-year-old Dublin resident, has been charged with assault causing harm following a violent incident at a homeless hostel on Dublin's northside. The attack, which involved the use of a knife and hatchet, left a 58-year-old man with severe injuries, including multiple stab wounds, a punctured kidney, and injuries to his leg, back, and head.
The incident occurred at the Peter McVerry Trust house on the New Cabra Road, and CCTV footage of the incident has been obtained. The accused was arrested in the vicinity of the attack, and he made no reply when charged with the offence.
Garda Aileen Deely confirmed the arrest, stating that the accused was taken to a local Garda station where he was verbally abusive and threatened to throw urine on officers.
Judge Cephas Power refused bail for Stephen Crosbie, citing the seriousness of the charge and the extent of the injuries sustained by the victim. The defence solicitor suggested that the judge could impose strict conditions on the accused, including staying away from specific homeless services.
The victim of the attack was taken to the Mater Hospital for emergency surgery. As of the latest update, a postmortem is scheduled to take place, indicating the severity of the injuries. However, no sentencing information is available at this time, suggesting the case is still proceeding through the courts.
The case is expected to be sent to the Circuit Court, where Stephen Crosbie will appear at Cloverhill District Court on Tuesday. Legal aid has been granted to the accused.
This case is still active in the justice system, so further updates on trial outcomes and sentencing can be expected in the coming weeks or months.
