At approximately 12.15pm on Wednesday, December 30, gardaí responded to reports of a public order incident involving what was described as a male, in his late twenties, armed with a knife at Hartstown Shopping Centre.
Gardaí said that during an incident a male staff member received facial injuries.
Subsequently, a second public order incident was reported at the adjacent Post Office in the shopping centre. Uniform, unarmed gardaí responded and observed Mr Nkencho in possession of a knife.
According to gardaí, George continued to threaten members of the public and unarmed gardaí with the knife. Gardaí said they then followed the male on foot and in vehicles from the Hartstown Shopping Centre towards Manorfields Drive.
During this period gardaí said they engaged with Mr Nkencho and encouraged him to drop the weapon.
