Mohamed Akrouf, 30, an Algerian national living at Lower Rathmines Road, D.6, was refused bail today

A man accused of stabbing a male on Dublin’s Grafton Street was found with bloodstains on his clothing and a knife on a Luas tram minutes after the alleged attack, a court heard.He was charged with assault causing harm to a named man, also in his 30s, at Grafton Street, in the early hours of Sunday. He also has a related charge for possessing a knife as a weapon.Garda Martin O’Rourke told the court the accused “made no reply” to the charges. Voicing flight risk concerns, he objected to bail.

The contested bail hearing was told there were witnesses, and the incident was captured on CCTV and that the accused told gardai he was “sorry for what happened”. Mr Akrouf came to Ireland in November last year. Garda O’Rourke feared he could apply for an Algerian passport without gardai knowing, and a flight could be booked on his behalf from outside the State.

She added that he could provide an address and would abide by any conditions, including signing on twice daily at a garda station.
