A 13-year-old girl was robbed at knifepoint by a couple on the Luas

A 13-year-old girl was robbed on the Luas Green Line last week.

According to The Journal, the teenager was on her way home fom Dundrum after a day out with her friends.

While on the tram, she was approached by a man and a woman who verbally abused her, before threatening to stab her.

The woman pulled out a flick knife on the young girl before stealing her phone.

Gardaí have described the duo as a male in his 20s with short brown hair, wearing a grey and navy tracksuit and runners.

The woman is also in her 20s, with long black hair and wore a black skirt and black boots at the time.

The girl was understandably shaken after the incident and Gardaí are currently investigating the attack.
