Two Separate Stabbings Leave Two Men in Serious Condition in Madrid Area

Police have opened separate inquiries into both attacks in a sign of parallel investigations rather than a linked case.

Overview

  • Two men were stabbed in separate incidents Saturday in Mejorada del Campo and Puente de Vallecas, and both were taken to Hospital Gregorio Marañón in serious condition.
  • In Mejorada del Campo, a 19-year-old reached a local urgent-care clinic on his own with neck and chest wounds, and clinicians inserted a chest drain before a SUMMA-112 intensive-care ambulance moved him to the hospital.
  • In the Madrid city case, a 30-year-old suffered a two-centimeter penetrating injury to the right side of his chest, and SAMUR-Protección Civil stabilized him for transfer with a Policía Municipal escort.
  • The Guardia Civil took the Mejorada case and the Policía Nacional took the Vallecas case, with no suspects or motive disclosed.
  • One victim has not told responders what happened, which leaves key details of both assaults under review by investigators.
