A man was brutally attacked on Wednesday January 12 in the municipality of Molina de Segura in Central Murcia and received several knife wounds in an altercation with two other men.
On Wednesday afternoon, at around 2.15pm, a fight broke out between two Moroccan men, aged 31 and 23, and a 34-year-old Spaniard who was walking down the street with his girlfriend.
The victim was approached by the two men and stabbed in the back with a large knife. The attackers then caused further wounds to the man’s arm as he tried to defend himself. All three individuals ended up in a brawl in the middle of the street, in which the victim was pinned to the ground while the other two punched him.

Hoy en Molina de Segura dos varones, de 31 y 23 años de origen magrebí, machetes en mano, dieron una recital de diversidad, enriquecimiento y multiculturalismo, en un enfrentamiento con un ciudadano que se encuentra en estado grave como consecuencia de la agresión pic.twitter.com/y62Cca2WnW
Shocked onlookers called the emergency services, but before the police arrived at the scene, on Calle Triunfo, several witnesses got involved and a 60-year-old neighbour managed to get the knife out of the attackers’ hands.
Officers were finally able to separate and detain the three men, who were still fighting on the floor when the squad car arrived.
All three of those involved required medical attention and the Spaniard had serious wounds on his back, legs and one arm. Fortunately, healthcare workers were able to reconstruct his arm, which had been almost severed near the wrist.
