A youth has been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 20-year-old, dad-to-be at a Dublin flat complex late last night.
Gardai have launched a murder investigation into the attack which took place at Ballybough House Flat Complex at around 10pm.
Officers rushed to the scene of the serious assault and discovered a young man on the ground with stab wounds.
Paramedics treated him at the scene and he was rushed to the Mater Hospital but he died there a short time later.
It is understood a group of young people were hanging out in the area when a row broke out and the man was fatally stabbed.
One youth has since been arrested by investigating Gardaí and he is currently detained under Section 4 of Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at Mountjoy Garda Station.
The scene is currently preserved for technical and forensic examination.
The State Pathologist has been notified and a post mortem will take place in due course.
An incident room has been set up at Mountjoy Garda Station.
They are appealing to witnesses or anyone with information to come forward and contact them at Mountjoy Garda Station on 01 6668600, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
