A man aged 35, originally from Ecuador, died late on a Friday night after sustaining four stab wounds inside a bar on Oasis de Artà street in Artà, Mallorca. His body was found on the street, and medical teams were unable to save him. The Civil Guard has detained a suspect, identified as a Colombian national, in connection with the incident.
The events unfolded around 11 p.m. at a venue on Oasis de Artà Street that has reportedly witnessed recurring conflicts. Eyewitnesses described a confrontation that quickly escalated into violence, ending with a stabbing. After the attack, the victim collapsed in the street, bleeding profusely, and bystanders called for help while emergency responders were alerted to the scene.
Responding teams from Ib-salut arrived in an equipped mobile intensive care unit, and clinicians at the Artà Primary Care Center provided rapid, on-site care. Although they performed extensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advanced life-saving measures, the victim did not regain a pulse and was pronounced dead following medical evaluation.
Judicial Police officers alongside Civil Guard personnel immediately began a thorough inquiry at the bar on Oasis Street, collecting evidence and speaking with witnesses to establish a sequence of events and identify those involved. The suspected assailant, a Colombian national, was apprehended in connection with the incident shortly after the confrontation ended. Authorities confirmed that the victim sustained four stab wounds in total: two to the back, one to the arm, and one to the chest. The case has been referred to the Manacor court of guardians, which ordered the removal of the body as part of standard legal proceedings. The investigation continues as authorities review surveillance footage, gather testimonies, and examine the weapon involved in the stabbing.
