Young man dies following assault at San Juan beach in Alicante; 22-year-old man arrested
A 27-year-old man died on Thursday as a result of injuries sustained in an assault that occurred in the early hours at San Juan beach in Alicante, according to diariodealicante.net. The alleged perpetrator of the attack, a 22-year-old man, was arrested and is being held at National Police facilities pending his appearance before a judge.
The incident took place at approximately 5.20 a.m. at the TRAM stop at Campo de Golf, in the San Juan beach area. The victim was seriously wounded and was taken to a hospital, where he was admitted with a very serious prognosis before dying.
The arrest was carried out by the Violent Crime Unit of the Provincial Judicial Police Brigade in Alicante, which took over the investigation of the case. The arrested man is being held at the National Police station in the Alicante capital.
Police sources indicated that both the victim and the alleged assailant were coming from a nightclub at the time of the incident. However, they clarified that the two did not know each other and that no prior argument between them was recorded inside the venue. The investigation is therefore focusing on what occurred in the vicinity of the TRAM stop.
Investigators are taking statements from several witnesses and are analysing possible images captured by security cameras in the area in order to reconstruct the minutes before the assault. The specific circumstances of the attack and what triggered it have not been disclosed at this time.
Once the current proceedings are concluded, the arrested man is expected to be brought before the duty judge in Alicante, who will determine what measures to adopt and make an initial legal determination of the facts.
