Three men were injured in a knife attack in a flat on Calle Enrique Velasco in Madrid’s Puente de Vallecas district on Friday evening. According to the emergency services of the Community of Madrid the 18-year-old suffered serious stab and cut wounds to his thigh and arm, as well as a traumatic brain injury. Paramedics stabilised him at the scene and took him to Hospital 12 de Octubre. Two other men, with less serious injuries, were taken to municipal hospitals for further assessment, including the Hospital Gregorio Marañón.
Medical care was provided by teams from the regional emergency medical service Servicio de Urgencia Médica de la Comunidad de Madrid, known as SUMMA 112, and the municipal emergency service SAMUR. Both services said the patients were treated at the scene before being transferred to hospital. No information was initially available on possible arrests, the suspected weapon beyond the description “knife”, or the motive.
The Policía Nacional has opened an investigation and is collecting evidence to establish exactly what happened in the flat and identify possible participants. The Policía Municipal de Madrid was also at the scene. According to the latest information, official details about the background and suspects are expected only after witness statements and technical evidence have been assessed.
Based on the information currently available, the confirmed facts are limited to the location of the incident in Puente de Vallecas, the number of people injured, the serious condition of the 18-year-old and the emergency and police services involved. This account is based on statements from dispatch centres and local reports, which in turn cite information from emergency personnel. Until the police release further details, speculation about the background or a connection with other incidents in Madrid is unsubstantiated.
In such situations, the authorities regularly stress the importance of prompt emergency medical care and properly secured investigative work. Further information about the condition of those injured or the status of the proceedings will be provided once confirmed by the relevant authorities.
