A 24-year-old man was arrested by the National Police for the stabbing incident that occurred in the North Zone of Alicant. Like the victim, the detainee was of Moroccan descent. He admitted to carrying out the stabbing and informed the agents that “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up.”
Yesterday at 7:30 p.m., the incident took place on calle Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the district of Virgen del Remedio. A 39-year-old guy who had been stabbed phoned an on-duty National Police patrol. The officers asked for the presence of medical assistance when he showed them the stab wound on his abdomen.
Following an explanation of what had transpired, a second patrol also arrived at the area and began searching for the individual who had stabbed him. According to what the victim told the police, he had been fighting with someone when he reached for a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen.
The police started searching when the victim gave them information, such as the fact that the assailant had a unique tattoo on his neck. Within an hour, they found the suspect in a fast-food restaurant in the same neighbourhood.
In order to defend what had happened, the suspect admitted to carrying out the attack and told the police that “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up.” The officers then went ahead and arrested the guy.
With a six-centimeter abdominal wound, the injured guy was sent to Alicante General Hospital and had surgery in the emergency room.
Before appearing in court, the detainee—who already had a criminal record and had acted aggressively towards the officers—was brought to the National Police headquarters for additional investigation.
