Two men have been injured after a fight in the centre of San Javier on Wednesday evening. The incident took place in an alleyway in the Torres Blancas area, next to the town’s courts, which residents describe as a run-down part of the town.
According to reports, two Moroccan brothers who sell second-hand goods in the area became involved in an argument with a customer of Algerian nationality. During the dispute, one of the brothers allegedly produced a knife and stabbed the customer in the thigh.
Police say the same man then used the weapon to injure himself. Officers intervened in the fight and, after seeing the injuries, arranged for both men to be taken to Los Arcos del Mar Menor Hospital for treatment.
An investigation into the circumstances of the incident is ongoing.
