Two brothers have hospitalised following a double stabbing in the foyer of Galway Courthouse this morning.
An argument broke out in the foyer of the Courthouse shortly before 11am, while there were sittings of the District Court and Circuit Criminal Court ongoing just yards away.
It’s understood both men were due to appear before the District Court later today.
Gardaí present rushed from the courtrooms to the foyer to find that two men had stabbed each other.
A man in his twenties was stabbed in the back, while his teenage brother was stabbed in his lower left arm.
Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
An ambulance has taken both men to University Hospital Galway, where they are under arrest and being monitored by Gardaí.
The courthouse was packed to capacity at the time, with members of the public moving through the foyer to get to different court sittings which were in progress at the time.
Gardai standing nearby quickly brought the situation under control and made one arrest in the foyer.
More arrests are expected to follow.
