A 13-year-old minor was injured by a knife this Tuesday morning near the Consuelo Aranda secondary school, in the Valencian town of Alberic (population 10,800), sources close to the investigation confirmed. The attacker, 15 years old and, like the victim, a student at the center, is in the care of the Civil Guard. The reason for the incident is currently unknown.
The government delegation in the Valencian Community has reported that the attack took place with a knife and involved two young people from the center, which has about 800 students. The injured man was taken to hospital and the severity of the injuries is currently unknown, although he was conscious following the attack, which would have occurred before class began in the presence of other students.
After the incident, the attacker surrendered to a local police officer who was near the school and was later placed at the disposal of the Civil Guard. The 13-year-old victim was initially transferred to the La Ribera hospital in Alzira and later to the La Fe children's ward in Valencia. According to health sources, the prognosis is cautious.
The city council of Alberic, a municipality in the interior of the province of Valencia, has sent a message of calm to the parents of the students and made itself available to the teaching team. According to community sources, there were no previous conversations between the two minors and, as they emphasized, it was “a specific incident”.
