On Friday night, a 17-year-old was stabbed in the abdomen by two individuals in Plaça de Catalunya, in the centre of Barcelona. The victim was taken to Hospital del Mar in serious condition but is now out of danger. The Mossos d'Esquadra are searching for two suspects, described as young Maghreb men, according to witness accounts.

It is believed that the incident may be related to disputes between acquaintances rather than to a violent robbery. This highlights the growing problem of knife possession in the city; during 2024, 3,371 such weapons were seized in Barcelona.

Concern is growing over safety in the centre of Barcelona.

This new episode of violence in the centre of Barcelona adds to citizens' concern about insecurity in the city. Residents and traders report an increase in assaults and robberies, especially in tourist areas such as Plaça Catalunya. The police insist they are working to curb this trend, but incidents like this continue to alarm the public.
