A 32-year-old woman of Colombian origin was injured by a knife in what authorities describe as an attack on public roads in Guardamar del Segura. She is stable with a concealed prognosis and was admitted to Torrevieja University Hospital after sustaining a stab wound to the right rib cage, along with facial injuries and other minor wounds. The 42-year-old alleged aggressor, also of Colombian descent, was arrested shortly after the incident.
The assault occurred on public roads at the intersection of the highway, around 6 pm on Tuesday, at Cervantes and Jorge Juan streets in Guardamar, near a pharmacy and the beach. Investigators are examining whether there was a prior dispute at the victim’s apartment where she previously lived.

According to authorities, the victim had only moved to Guardamar a week earlier to care for an elderly person. The two individuals reportedly lived in Elche before the relocation.

Civil Guard sources indicate the assault began in the victim’s apartment, after which she went outdoors onto the street.
Medical staff on the scene, including a nearby nurse and pharmacy personnel, attended to the victim as soon as help arrived.
