On September 21 Kasonga Mbuyi, with an address at a hostel on Clare Street in Co Limerick, was charged with assault causing harm, unlawful possession of a penknife as a weapon and with carrying an article with intent to cause injury.
At Dublin District Court, Judge John Campbell refused Mr Mbuyi bail and held him in custody until he appears at Cloverhill District Court on Wednesday.
Detective Garda Cathal Connolly told the court that Mr Mbuyi made no reply to the assault charge, but responded “I was looking for help” to the weapons offences.
German national suffered eight wounds to his left arm and body, requiring 12 stitches. He has since been discharged from hospital.
Det Garda Connolly objected to bail, citing flight risk concerns.
He agreed with defence solicitor Tracy Horan that the accused said he was seeking help.
The court heard Mr Mbuyi was recently made homeless from an address in Limerick, where he had lived for seven years.
