Several people were involved in a clash that erupted early Monday morning in the city of Santiago de Compostela. The incident resulted in multiple stabbing wounds. Initial reports indicated a single casualty, but the situation deteriorated as conditions of the injured worsened.
Emergency services confirmed the event occurred shortly after 7:00 am on the Santiago expansion, at number 15 on Santiago de Chile street, within a local entertainment area. The exact number of participants remains unclear, but the scene involved a large group and at least four individuals sustained blade injuries, with varying levels of severity.
Around 07:00 hours, a large number of people called 112 seeking medical assistance for the wounded. Two ambulances responded to the scene; they transported one person, identified as the most seriously injured, to the Santiago Clinical Hospital. The patient is a 31-year-old man. (Emergency services)
Another helper, who did not wish to be moved, was detained shortly after by officers from the National Police on suspicion of involvement in the fight. He was taken to hospital due to serious injuries. Local sources also indicated a second person has been detained in connection with the incident. (National Police)
