In the early hours, the Civil Guard arrested a 16-year-old following a knife attack at Los Náufragos beach in Torrevieja during the traditional San Juan night celebrations. The victim, a 20-year-old man, was injured with wounds that, according to sources close to the case, are not serious.

The incident occurred in the early minutes of June 24, amidst multiple gatherings along the Alicante coast for the shortest night of the year. According to investigation sources, the minor was arrested at the scene by Civil Guard officers, who are now handling the case.

The CICU received the alert at 00:19 hours and dispatched a SAMU unit to attend to the injured, but by the time emergency services arrived, he had left on his own, according to information from several witnesses. The reasons behind the attack remain under investigation, with no hypothesis ruled out.

Another Minor Arrested for Stabbing

This is the second minor arrested for a knife attack in Alicante province in just a week. On Wednesday, June 18, a 14-year-old was arrested by the National Police after stabbing another minor during a fight in the El Pla neighborhood of Alicante, involving around twenty youths, mostly of Maghrebi origin, according to police sources.

The attack occurred when the alleged assailant attempted to steal the victim's bicycle, sparking a violent brawl. The injured youth was attacked with a knife amidst the chaos and required medical attention. Despite his young age, the detainee is prosecutable under current law and was handed over to the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office.
