A 34-year-old woman is hospitalized after being stabbed by her ex-partner in the Horacio Quiroga neighborhood, in the southern part of the city of Salto. The incident occurred last night, when the aggressor, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, arrived at the victim’s house with a white weapon. Witnesses claim that the man threatened and insulted the woman in front of her relatives, grabbed her by the neck, and stabbed her twice in the abdominal area.
The woman was found at the scene with severe bleeding and was immediately taken to the Hospital de Salto, where she was rushed to the surgical block for treatment. Fortunately, she is currently in stable condition. The attack has sent shockwaves through the community, and many are left wondering what could have led to such a violent outburst.
As the investigation unfolds, it has been revealed that the 37-year-old suspect was arrested just hours after the incident, several blocks away from the crime scene. He remains in custody, available to the Prosecutor’s Office, as they work to piece together the events surrounding the attack. The community awaits justice, and the woman’s loved ones can only hope for her full recovery.
