"It's absolutely a trend. Every week, there are reports of assaults on the quays, stabbings, and attacks on residents and visitors alike. It's not speaking down to the city to say we have substantial issues, and these won't be addressed by wishing them away. It's bleak in Dublin city centre at the moment,"
"I don't have enough to comment on that."
The Steelers were in Dublin to play a historic league match at Croke Park against the Minnesota Vikings. Reserve quarterback Skylar Thompson, 28, was reportedly jumped and robbed in the early hours of Saturday near the Temple Bar area, with his phone taken and minor injuries sustained. Thompson was briefly hospitalized at St James' Hospital and later discharged. Gardaí said they encountered a male requiring medical assistance on Dame Street, treated him, and noted no formal complaint had been made and no information yet substantiates a robbery. Local politicians linked the incident to a wider trend of city-centre violence and assaults.
