A violent incident near a Madrid high school led to the detention of two younger siblings, a 16-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy, who were accused of attacking two classmates with knives and stones on Avena Street, in the Usera district. The two detainees are students at a local school in the area, according to sources cited by police and local media.
The events unfolded in the afternoon. Police and emergency services were called to the scene around 14:30 near IES Pradolongo. The National Police handed the two youths over to its Junior Group, known as GRUME, as part of the ongoing investigation. The authorities confirmed these details to reporters and to EFE, the Spanish news agency.
At this stage, investigators are considering the main hypothesis that the incident involved a violent robbery. However, the investigation remains open, and authorities are also examining the possibility that the attacks may be linked to youth gangs. Police are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to determine the sequence of events and identify any accomplices.
Medical responders from Samur-C civil Protection arrived at the scene to treat a minor who sustained injuries during the incident. The young victim received care for a stab wound located under the armpit and was later transported to a hospital for more thorough evaluation and treatment. The transfer took place promptly, ensuring the child’s condition was monitored by medical staff as he moved to Octubre University Hospital for further treatment.
preliminary information from some sources indicates that the 14-year-old boy of Guinean origin may have been the target of the assault, which allegedly involved a 16-year-old girl. The pattern of the attack and the identities involved are under close scrutiny by investigators as they piece together the timeline and motive. A second victim later reported to the police that the other detainee, a 14-year-old boy, had used stones during the confrontation.
Law enforcement officers located the two siblings nearby and arrested them on suspicion of having carried out the attacks. The case has prompted further inquiries from school authorities and community leaders as part of ongoing efforts to understand the context of the violence and to determine whether risk factors in the neighborhood may have played a role.
As the investigation continues, officials stress the importance of careful handling of information to avoid speculation and ensure accurate reporting. The police will provide updates as new facts become available and as evidence is collected from interviews, witnesses, and any available video footage. The aim is to establish a clear account of what happened, identify those responsible, and determine whether additional individuals were involved or if the incident was isolated.
