‘Hero’ delivery driver who intervened in Dublin attack to run as councillor
Caio Benicio says priorities will be road safety and immigration
A Brazilian delivery driver who was hailed a hero after intervening in a knife attack is to run for Dublin City Council.
Caio Benicio, who won praise for his actions from Senator Mary Fitzpatrick, announced on Sunday that he will be running as a Fianna Fáil candidate for Dublin North Inner City.
Three children and a crèche worker were injured in the attack in Parnell Square East on November 23 last year.
The incident happened before a riot in the city later that evening.
