A 47-year-old woman is currently hospitalized at Montecelo Hospital in Pontevedra after sustaining multiple stab wounds in what authorities have described as a serious incident. The injuries occurred this morning on Jaime Janer de Marín street and are being treated as a critical situation by medical staff and investigators alike.
The woman faced several stab injuries, with some severity
According to sources from the National Police, a man in his fifties was detained in connection with the events. Early reports indicate that the victim and the suspect did not know each other prior to the attack. It appears to have been an unprovoked assault carried out by the assailant against a person encountered on the street, with investigators noting the possibility that others in the vicinity could have also been at risk.
Claims from the suspect regarding the motive
Authorities were told that the suspect suggested a fixation on harming someone that day, with statements described as incoherent by the officers who interviewed him. The arrest occurred after Marin Local Police responders arrived at the scene, and soon after, National Police personnel took over the investigation and the detention of the detainee. Specialists from the Forensic and Scientific Police were deployed to collect evidence in the area as the inquiry continued.
The City Council of Marín confirmed through police communications that the suspect appeared to be in an unstable mental state at the time of arrest. At that stage, there was no indication of any relationship between the victim and the attacker. The police investigation remains active as investigators work to reconstruct the sequence of events and determine the full context of what happened.
