In the Can n’Anglada neighborhood of Terrassa, a suburb of Barcelona, investigators report that a resident attempted to kill his wife after stabbing her multiple times in the chest. The attack occurred on a Friday night inside the family home shared with their children. After the assault, the suspect fled the scene and reportedly attempted suicide by jumping from a bridge. He survived the fall but was left seriously injured, according to authoritative sources on the case.
The woman sustained serious injuries from the knife attack but her condition is currently not considered life-threatening. Medical teams and police responders arrived at the scene to provide care and secure the area. The couple has three children. The Mossos d’Esquadra are conducting inquiries into the incident, labeling it as potential sexist violence, while the investigation continues. At this stage, there is no confirmed record of a prior history of violence between the involved parties.
Emergency services also deployed a response to evacuate the suspect who jumped from the town’s footbridge near a nearby park. He was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, and authorities have set up the necessary safety and support operations in the vicinity.
Earlier this week in Terrassa, another violent incident drew police attention when a man fatally wounded another person at Bartrina Street following an argument that escalated into a knife attack. The suspect was detained shortly after the confrontation. Hours later, a separate report described a man arriving with stab wounds on Núria Street; police are investigating the circumstances and pursuing potential suspects.
Choumicha, 38, a resident of Navas de Tolosa Street in Barcelona, is noted as the latest reporting of a sexist crime in Catalonia for the year 2023. The case concerns allegations that an ex-partner was responsible for fatal harm reported on December 29. Records show prior reports, including one that resulted in archival status and another that had a later criminal court appearance in Barcelona in October 2024, with a 2022 incident also noted among the reports in the timeline of events.
Authorities emphasize ongoing efforts to address gender-based violence, support victims, and strengthen preventive measures across the region. Community safety agencies continue to monitor incidents, coordinate with social services, and promote reporting channels for individuals at risk. The reporting of such crimes remains a priority for public safety, with investigations conducted by local police and regional judicial authorities, and with ongoing updates as new information becomes available.
