Meliana Assault and Bicycle Theft in Valencia

A 93-year-old man remains hospitalized after being violently attacked by burglars who broke into his Meliana home in the early hours, in the Valencia region. The intruders did not hesitate to use force, taking advantage of the elder person’s inability to defend himself. When one intruder was spotted, he was knocked to the floor, leaving the man with injuries including a fractured hip, and the assailant pressed a scarf over his mouth to silence any cries for help. Neighbours describe a tense, frightening scene that unfolded in the quiet hours of a calm street, leaving lasting concern among residents about home safety. Medical teams have since performed surgery to repair the hip, and the elderly man continues to receive treatment as doctors monitor his recovery. The family awaits further updates while authorities pursue leads, and local officials remind residents to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity promptly to help prevent more incidents in the neighborhood.
