A murder investigation is under way after a teenage boy was stabbed to death in Dublin.
The 16-year-old sustained fatal injuries, and three other people were injured, following a row in East Wall.
Gardaí were called to an incident at 9.20pm on East Road after a passer-by reported an attack on the street.
A row appears to have broken out between a group of teenage boys and girls and another group, which may have included some adults.
The boy was treated by paramedics at the scene, but was later pronounced dead at the Mater Hospital.
Two other teenage boys were injured in the incident, one of them seriously. Both are being treated in hospital.
A man in his 20s is also being treated in hospital.
The scene has been preserved.
