Man arrested on suspicion of stabbing ex-partner's boyfriend and fleeing with son
Portuguese authorities have arrested an individual accused of assaulting with a bladed weapon the current partner of his ex-wife and subsequently disappearing with the child of the former couple. The case was reported by Diário de Notícias.
The violent incident occurred in the context of a past relationship between the aggressor and the female victim. Following the assault on the new boyfriend, the suspect is said to have decided to take the child with him, which triggered a police operation to locate and capture him.
The arrest was carried out by security forces, ending the man's flight and securing the recovery of the minor. The facts are now being investigated by the competent authorities, which will evaluate the seriousness of the crimes committed — which include offences against physical integrity and possible kidnapping or unlawful detention of a minor.
The case will be referred for judicial review, where the coercive measures applicable to the arrested man will be determined.
