A man arrested for stabbing his ex-partner at a bus stop in Madrid

A 30-year-old woman has been attacked with extreme brutality, allegedly by her ex-partner, and has been treated at a bus stop in the Puente de Vallecas district, in Madrid. The 27-year-old man was arrested minutes later by the police and the officers recovered the knife with which he stabbed the victim in the abdomen. The attack occurred at a quarter to eleven in the morning on Javier de Miguel Street.

It is still not clear if the attack occurred at the stop itself or the woman arrived at that point from another location. The Samur emergency services have stabilized the victim and have proceeded to transfer her to the hospital, where she will undergo surgery and she will remain hospitalized. Predictably, the detainee will be charged with the crime of attempted murder and gender violence.

The Government delegate against Gender Violence, Victoria Rosell, explained after the meeting that 85.7% of sexist murders are committed by couples or spouses and the rest by ex-partners.

The Government Delegation against Gender Violence confirmed this Monday that the two crimes committed this Sunday in Seville and in Villanueva del Arzobispo (Jaén) are sexist murders, which brings the fatalities to 42 so far this year, a total of 1,226 since they began to be counted in 2003.
