A person whose name and age were not disclosed was arrested after an attempted fatal assault on his wife, allegedly with a large knife. Police sources indicate the incident occurred in a residence in Murcia.
The events unfolded on a Saturday night inside a home on Avenida de Fame, the capital of the region. The wife contacted emergency services, reporting that her husband, who appeared intoxicated, had attacked her with a knife.
Local police officers in Murcia swiftly moved to detain the suspect. When apprehended, he had already inflicted stab wounds on his partner, who sustained injuries to the face.
A nearby patrol transported the injured woman to a health center for urgent medical care, while other officers escorted the alleged assailant to the Carmen Police Station for processing. He was placed in custody in accordance with standard legal procedures, with the expectation that he would be brought before judicial authorities within the legally mandated timeframe.
