A violent incident occurred in Benidorm involving a man who assaulted his father with a hammer before jumping from a sixth-floor window. The event began with a confrontation that escalated quickly and ended in a tragic fall.
The 62-year-old victim sustained an injury to the back of the head when struck with the hammer. Emergency services were alerted and arrived at the scene around 13:32. Paramedics from SAMU and SVB were mobilized to provide immediate care and transport the patient to hospital specialists for treatment. The victim was subsequently moved to HCB Hospital in Benidorm for further evaluation and stabilization.
In the aftermath, investigators learned that the son, aged 34, took refuge in one of the building’s rooms after the assault. He then exited or fell from the sixth floor, plunging into the void, which resulted in severe injuries and required urgent medical assessment as reported by health authorities.
Witnesses indicate that the SAMU team performed airway management and helped stabilize the situation before transferring the patient to Vila Joiosa Hospital for continued care. The assailant who delivered the hammer blow suffered fractures of the ankle and wrist but remained conscious, according to the same health sources. The full circumstances surrounding the incident are under police review as officers gather statements and evidence from the scene.
