A trifulca between users of a shelter in the Mides program ended in a stabbing incident in the Bella Vista neighborhood. The fact that violence involved three men occurred at around 18:30 on Saturday, near the shelter located on Avenida Agraciada Esquina Evaristo Ciganda.
The incident began to unfold when the police arrived at the scene, responding to an alert about a fight between two men. According to the injured man, he was sitting on a bench when another man insulted him and threw an object, prompting them to exchange blows. At some point, a third party intervened, stabbing the victim on the right side of the abdomen.
As the situation escalated, the victim managed to enter the shelter and asked for assistance. He was subsequently transferred to the Spanish hospital, where the wound was treated. The man, who is 35 years old, has a history of run-ins with the law, with five criminal records, the most recent one being two years ago. Interestingly, he chose not to file a police complaint in this instance.
The details of the incident raise questions about the safety and security of shelters, particularly those in the Mides program. What leads to such violent altercations, and how can they be prevented? The fact that the victim had a history of criminal records but still chose not to press charges is also noteworthy. As the investigation into the incident continues, it remains to be seen what measures will be taken to address the underlying issues that led to this violent confrontation.
