At around 10am on Wednesday morning, a woman in her 40s was arrested at a city centre location and is currently being held at Crumlin Garda Station.
The Sun.ie reports that gardaí are keeping an "open mind" as to the circumstances of Omar's tragic death, however, they are not treating the boy’s father Khalid Omran, who lives in Drimnagh, as a suspect.
The little boy's mother, Maha Al-Adheem, was injured during the same incident and had surgery on Monday to stabilise her.

A doctor and originally from Iraq, she is not thought to have any family in Ireland. Omar was born in the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin on January 9, 2014, and lived all of his short life in Kimmage.
DailyMail.com reports that Lorraine Leon, who lives across the road from the family, described the dead child as a "very lively" boy who was "mad about my dogs".
She added: "He was gorgeous, beautiful. Big brown eyes, very lively, chatted. He would talk to you all the time."
