In Palma, three young people were involved in a violent robbery that ended with a stabbing as they confronted a sleeping man and attempted to take his shoulder bag. The incident unfolded in Parc de ses Estacions, drawing the attention of local police and emergency responders. The victim reported the sequence of events, noting that he woke to discover the attackers looming over him and immediately challenged them in an effort to defend his belongings. The confrontation escalated quickly as the assailants pressed their aggression, and the assailants fled with the bag as the initial clash began.
During the ensuing struggle, one of the attackers drew a knife and aimed a direct strike at the victim’s face. The weapon clattered to the ground in the friction of the fight, which prompted another attacker to draw a second knife. That attacker delivered a stab to the victim’s leg, while a third attacker stabbed the victim in the thigh. Throughout the scuffle, witnesses heard threats and saw the attackers continue to press their advantage, even as the victim attempted to fend them off and call for help.
Shortly after the robbery, three suspects were located and detained by authorities. The assailants had fled the scene with the victim’s shoulder bag, leaving behind a trail of violence that required medical attention. An ambulance arrived at Parc de ses Estacions and transported the injured man to a hospital in Palma for treatment. The responding officers obtained a detailed description of the attackers from the victim and began to reconstruct the events, coordinating with medical staff on the extent of the injuries and ensuring the protection of bystanders who witnessed the incident.
During the following hours, police searched the area and identified two individuals who matched the victim’s descriptions. One was arrested on suspicion of violent theft, and a stolen document was recovered in connection with the case, which targeted a separate resident in the Pere Garau neighborhood. Investigators continue to pursue leads to locate the third participant involved in the robbery and to determine all the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the motives and any potential accomplices involved in this violent act.
Authorities emphasized that the investigation remains active as they piece together the sequence of events, review surveillance footage, and gather testimonies from witnesses who observed the attack. The team is dedicated to ensuring a thorough account of the robbery, the injuries sustained by the victim, and the steps needed to bring all involved parties to justice while maintaining public safety in the Parc de ses Estacions and the surrounding districts.
