Manhunt After Tourist ‘Stabbed in the Neck’ at Five-Star Hotel in Barcelona
- On Monday, a 23-year-old tourist was stabbed twice in the neck by three men at the five-star Hotel Casa Fuster on Barcelona's Passeig de Gràcia. The victim remains in serious but non-life-threatening condition.
- Local Mossos law enforcement and Barcelona Urban Police responded to the scene after an argument spiralled out of control at 1:30 PM. The three assailants fled the scene, prompting an investigation.
- Earlier this month, the city witnessed five stabbings over the National Day of Catalonia holiday weekend. This latest attack adds to a recent string of knife incidents across Barcelona.
- The Barcelona town hall reported in July that knife-related incidents fell by 20.9 per cent between January and June. Robberies involving violence declined 9.4 per cent, while thefts dropped 21.1 per cent.
- Despite broader crime reductions, city authorities previously noted that hate crimes rose by 64.3 per cent compared to the same period last year. The investigation into the hotel attack remains ongoing.
