Man arrested after stabbing a nurse at a health center in Benicasim (Castellón)

A man was arrested for stabbing a nurse at a health center in Benicasim, Castellón, possibly related to domestic violence.

A man was arrested by the Guardia Civil after allegedly stabbing a nurse at a health center in Benicasim, Castellón. Reports suggest that the assailant entered the health facility armed with a knife and attacked a female worker. The exact motives behind the assault remain unclear at this time.

Local sources, including the 'Periodico del Mediterráneo,' indicate that the attacker may be the partner of the nurse, which, if confirmed, would classify the incident as another case of gender-based violence. This highlights the ongoing issue of domestic violence in Spain, where such incidents have garnered increasing attention and prompted calls for stronger preventive measures.

Emergency medical services are currently assisting the nurse, and further information on her condition is awaited. This attack underscores the vulnerabilities facing health care workers, especially women, in their professional environments and raises concerns about security in public health facilities.
