Attacker allegedly went home to fetch kitchen knives before attacking minor
A 17-year-old was seriously injured on Monday night after receiving two stab wounds to the chest in Vila Viçosa, in Alentejo, according to Correio da Manhã. The suspect, aged 23, was detained by the GNR at the scene of the crime.
Emergency services arrived at the scene at around 23:00. The dispute between the two young men is believed to have begun inside a bar located on the same street where the attack ultimately took place.
According to witnesses, the argument intensified on the public road. The attacker allegedly then returned home to fetch two kitchen knives, returning to carry out the attack. The reasons that led to this outcome are still to be established.
The victim was stabilised at the scene by INEM teams, namely the VMER and the SIV, with support from firefighters. Considered seriously injured, he was transported to the emergency department of Évora Hospital, where he is recovering.
The 23-year-old suspect did not resist the GNR at the time of his detention. The following morning, he was handed over to the Polícia Judiciária, which took responsibility for investigating all aspects of the case. The young man will remain in the custody of the PJ until being brought before an investigating magistrate. The charge could involve attempted homicide.
