Perpetrator of knife attack in Cangas arrested within hours
The Civil Guard arrested the alleged perpetrator of a knife attack on Saturday morning, which took place in the early hours of Friday in Cangas, according to atlantico.net. The detainee was hiding in a property in the town, where officers managed to locate him hours after the incident. He is expected to appear before a judge on Monday.
The events occurred at around 2 a.m. on Friday morning on rúa Barreiros, at number 3, during a confrontation between several men. During the fight, the now-detained man allegedly used a knife to cut the throat of one of those involved.
The victim was initially treated at the Cangas Primary Care Centre and later transferred to Povisa hospital, where medical staff were due to carry out surgical intervention. Sources close to the case indicate that his life is not in danger, despite the seriousness of the wound.
After the assault, the attacker fled the scene, which activated a search operation that resulted in his location and arrest at the property where he was hiding. The suspect is, according to the same sources, known to law enforcement.
