Doctors at the Hospital 12 de Octubre did everything possible to save the man’s sight but it has now been announced that the extent of the damage was too great for them to do so after he was attacked with a sharp implement, to the astonishment of witnesses. The impact of the blow left the victim on the floor of the train and the attacker was not detained by other passengers when he left the train at the station of Alto del Arenal in the south of the city.
