A stabbing on the Barcelona metro leaves 13 arrested and causes concern
A fight between two groups disrupted the normal running of the Barcelona metro overnight. The incident, which occurred at El Coll i la Teixonera station, left one man injured by a bladed weapon and prompted a police intervention with several arrests.
The incident took place around midnight on the platform, at a time when there were fewer people but some users were present. The victim received assistance at the scene, while those involved tried to leave the station.
The intervention of the Mossos d’Esquadra led to the arrest of several suspects shortly afterwards at Vall d’Hebron, on the same line. In total, thirteen people have been arrested while the investigation continues.
The incident has caused concern among those who use the metro at night, especially at stations with less foot traffic where the sense of security can be affected.
The metro network is one of the city’s main means of transport, and episodes like this reopen the debate about surveillance and safety on night-time journeys.
For regular users, the situation highlights the need to strengthen presence and prevention during quieter hours, when any incident has a greater impact on the perception of safety.
