Riad Bouchaker was 'ferociously jabbing' group of children, trial told
She said he seemed confused, 'almost as if he wasn't expecting an adult or someone bigger to approach him'

Ms Flynn told Karl Finnegan, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, that she had lined the children up in pairs on Dublin's Parnell Square East at about 1.30pm as she prepared to take them to a nearby after-school creche. She said her attention was drawn to a man standing at a bus stop because she noticed a bus pull away but he didn't get on it. He seemed to be looking for something in his bag, she said.

As she was zipping up the coat of one of the children before moving off, she said she saw the man walking towards the children. As he got closer, he adopted a "crouched motion" and began moving hurriedly, she said.

Ms Flynn saw him move in the direction of one girl, whom the court has previously heard suffered severe brain damage due to blood loss having been stabbed in the heart.

Ms Flynn noticed the knife, but couldn't say where it had come from, and saw the man "ferociously jabbing" multiple times at the children.
...

Mr Benicio said he was on his motorbike coming down Parnell Square East towards O'Connell St when he noticed people screaming and running. He said he first thought it was a fight between drug users but then saw a big man fighting a woman over a little girl.

He said: "The bigger man was pulling the girl from the woman and she was trying to keep the kid so I realised it was something not common."

He said he slowed down and as he approached he saw the man grabbing the little girl. Mr Benicio said: "He pulled the girl from the woman with his left hand... and I saw him with a big sharp knife in the right hand. He started to stab the girl in the chest. I can't be sure how many times he stabbed the girl but I believe it was three or four times."

He got off his bike but couldn't move fast because he had surgery on his knee two months earlier. He said Mr Bouchaker saw him coming but with the girl in one hand and the knife in the other, he was unable to defend himself. Mr Benicio said he took off his helmet to protect himself and used it to hit Mr Bouchaker on the head.

He said the helmet slipped from his hand so he punched Mr Bouchaker two or three times. "When I realised he couldn't react and saw blood in his mouth, I stopped and stepped back,' he said.

Other people began kicking and hitting Mr Bouchaker, he said, until two women came and stood in front of him to protect him. The women shouted, "We are not savages here," and the people stopped trying to hit Mr Bouchaker, the witness said.

Defence counsel said that Mr Bouchaker's actions were "beyond words" but asked if it was possible that some of the children were injured "accidentally" while he was waving the knife. Ms Flynn accepted that it was possible.
