Man critically injured in central Madrid stabbing: woman arrested as suspected attacker
A 49-year-old man is in critical condition after being stabbed in the early hours of Thursday at a home on Calle Santa Bárbara, in the heart of Madrid. The incident occurred at around 1:20 a.m., according to Summa 112, which took the victim to hospital with multiple stab wounds to the chest, back and face.
Initial reports suggest the suspected attacker is a woman, although the authorities have not confirmed her identity or the circumstances of the incident. The area, close to Plaza de San Ildefonso and very busy, has once again been the scene of a violent episode that rekindles the debate over safety in the Centro district.
Local media have reported that the woman arrested is a Canadian national who worked as a prostitute, a claim that has not been verified by official sources. The investigation remains open, while the victim is still hospitalised in a serious condition.
