The Civil Guard has taken charge of the investigation and is looking for the perpetrator of the stabbings
A minor has died after being stabbed this Thursday at the La Despernada cultural center in the Madrid town of Villanueva de la Cañada. The attack occurred in the library and the perpetrator of the stabbing fled.
The 112 emergency service has reported that it was notified of the event in a call around 7:45 p.m. this Thursday. When the Summa 112 emergency teams arrived at the scene, the minor, 11 years old, was in cardiorespiratory arrest due to injuries to the chest, neck and back.
The paramedics managed to reverse the arrest, stabilized him and transferred him with a critical prognosis by helicopter to the 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid, where he finally died. One of the hypotheses is that the attacker is a person with mental problems. Several witnesses point to a 22-year-old local man as the perpetrator.
Judicial police and citizen security agents from the Civil Guard are working on the investigation of the event. At the moment there have been no arrests, the Civil Guard has informed Efe.
