Gardai arrested a juvenile boy at the scene. The scene of the knife incident, a laneway between houses, remains closed off this morning, Cork Beo reports.

A section at the bottom of the lane is covered over with a tarpaulin as gardai carry out a full forensic examination. It's believed the initial attraction may have started in a house in the area.
