In the municipality of Fene (A Coruña province), police are searching for a young man who, on Monday afternoon, attacked pedestrians and drivers, threatening them with a sickle.

Witnesses reported that the man moved through several streets, frightening residents and motorists. During the incident, he damaged at least one car and then attacked a resident of A Capela, inflicting a serious ear injury. After the attack, the assailant fled, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
The victim was urgently taken to Arquitecto Marcide Hospital in Ferrol, where he required surgery. Police continue to search for the attacker and are investigating the circumstances of the incident. Authorities urge residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious individuals in the area.
Cases of stabbings in Spain remain rare, but such incidents raise concerns among locals and increase attention to security issues. In recent years, law enforcement agencies have noted a rise in reports of illegal break-ins into residential homes, which has also become a topic of discussion at the regional level. In the context of other high-profile incidents in the country, it is worth noting that police in Catalonia recently arrested a man with multiple prior convictions on suspicion of sexually assaulting a tourist — details of this case are available here.
For reference: Fene is a small municipality in Galicia, where public safety issues have traditionally been under the control of local authorities. The Arquitecto Marcide Hospital in Ferrol is considered one of the region’s key medical institutions, treating patients with severe injuries. According to RUSSPAIN, such incidents highlight the importance of swift police action and the need for timely public notifications about potential threats.
