HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zariouh
A 25-year-old Moroccan youth was subjected to a serious assault in the city of Albatera, belonging to the province of Alicante in southeastern Spain last Friday.
The attack occurred against the backdrop of financial disputes between the victim, who works as an immigrant in Spain, and another person from Algeria, aged 37. According to eyewitness testimonies, the suspect went up to his girlfriend's apartment and then returned carrying a screwdriver, attacking the Moroccan youth and hitting him on the head. The stab wound penetrated part of the skull and face, which necessitated his rapid transfer to the hospital in a critical condition. Thanks to the quick intervention of the doctors, the victim underwent a complex surgical operation, during which the screwdriver was removed from his head, and his life was saved despite the seriousness of the injury. The youth's condition is now stable after the operation. The security authorities were able to arrest the suspect, who was placed under investigation on suspicion of involvement in the crime of assault and attempted murder. Investigations are still ongoing to find out the full details of the incident and the motives behind this violent assault.
