The Policía Foral arrested five youths at the weekend in Navarre Three young men were taken into custody in Pamplona in the early hours of Monday following a confrontation in the La Milagrosa . According to police, one person involved sustained bleeding facial injuries. A minor is said to have then fled on foot, with two men reportedly pursuing him while carrying a knife. Officers stopped the pursuers and arrested them on suspicion of making threats; the minor was arrested for assault. No information on the injured person’s precise condition has been provided beyond the reported facial injuries.
A second incident took place in the early hours of Saturday in Cascante during the local patron saint festivities. A mass brawl broke out outside a nightclub. Officers from the Comisaría de Tudela responded with support from the Policía Local of Cascante and arrested two men aged 18 and 19. They are suspected of injuring another person involved. The authorities initially gave no information about possible motives or prior relationships between the groups.
Both incidents are being investigated further by the relevant police units in Pamplona and Tudela . The investigations are ongoing; the cases have been referred to the courts. Police clarified that a knife was carried in the La Milagrosa incident. It was initially unclear whether the blade had been used.
The incidents took place during several local fiestas in Navarra, when increased security is routinely provided. In recent years, regional and municipal authorities have stepped up coordination at large events to prevent sudden outbreaks of violence during festivities. Any specific criminal or administrative consequences for those arrested will become clear only after the investigations are complete and, if applicable, they appear before a judge.
At present, investigators consider the two incidents unrelated. Further details — such as the weapons involved in Cascante or possible reports from those injured — were not initially released on Monday. The Policía Foral said it would provide further information to the courts and, where possible, the public after reviewing the initial reports.
