The Civil Guard reported a serious incident in Pinos Genil, Granada, where two people were detained following a brutal assault that left a 58-year-old man in critical condition. He was transported to the intensive care unit of the San Cecilio Clinical Hospital in Granada for urgent treatment.
Authorities have identified the detainees as two French teenagers, a 29-year-old man who is undocumented, and a 21-year-old woman. The suspects are accused of attempting murder and violent robbery in connection with the attack.
The arrests were achieved with the coordinated efforts of the Civil Guard and the Granada National Police, demonstrating strong cross-agency collaboration in pursuing those responsible.
The stabbing happened last Wednesday at a residence in Pinos Genil, where a man was attacked with a sharp object to the neck and abdomen, resulting in serious injuries. Investigators are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the event to determine exactly why the victim and the attackers were at that address.
A security camera located in a nearby building captured footage of the assailants while they fled the area. The footage prompted authorities to consider the possibility that the suspects were not local and might be attempting to leave the province in the immediate aftermath of the crime.
In response, a specialized operation at the local bus station led to the timely interception and arrest of the individuals involved. Ongoing inquiries aim to establish the motives behind the assault and whether the theft of the victim’s phone played any role in the incident, as early findings suggest that theft may not have been the primary driver.
The detainees are expected to appear before the Granada Court on Monday as part of the judicial process in this case, where prosecutors will outline the charges and the evidence gathered by investigators.
