Civil Guard officers and local police detained a man suspected of taking part in a violent incident that left several people injured during a street clash. The confrontation involved sharp weapons, including a roughly 35-centimeter machete, and occurred on a street in Sueca on Monday afternoon.
The events unfolded on September 4, around 20:30. Civil Guard units responded to a report of a large fight on a public road in the Ribera Baixa capital. When authorities arrived, they were accompanied by several Local Police patrols. Eyewitness accounts and investigative documents indicate that officers quickly detained a male suspect who played a central role in the incident, after a person sustained a deep leg wound near the ankle.
The injured party is a 29-year-old man from Algeria, who required urgent medical intervention. He underwent surgery and received seven staples to close the wound while medical teams evaluated the extent of the damage. The suspected author of the injuries is reported to be a 29-year-old man of Moroccan nationality who was later taken into custody on charges of causing bodily harm. It is expected that he will be presented before a court in the near term.
Witnesses described a scene in which the participants had previously engaged in a broader street brawl. Several individuals reportedly used bladed weapons during the disturbance. In addition to the injuries, authorities detained a third person on suspicion of assault against a representative of public authority since the confrontation involved law enforcement personnel.
In the course of the investigation, the cooperation of bystanders helped the patrols to locate and divert two concealed blades. Witnesses indicated that the weapons used in the incident included a machete roughly 35 centimeters long and a knife approximately 17 centimeters long, which had been carried by those involved.
