A 50-year-old man was discovered in a sugarcane field in Nova Granada, São Paulo, after suffering at least 13 stab wounds, including injuries to his neck. Employees of a nearby sugar and alcohol plant located him early on Wednesday morning, after he had spent the night crawling in the field trying to seek help following the attack that occurred the previous day. The victim indicated that he had been attacked on Tuesday and had to endure the night exposed to rain until he was found.

After being discovered, the man was transported to the Municipal Emergency Care of Nova Granada, where medical examination confirmed the severity of his injuries. Due to the critical nature of his situation, he was later transferred to the Base Hospital in São José do Rio Preto. The latest reports do not indicate his current state of health, leaving concerns about his recovery and the circumstances surrounding the attack.

According to the police report, the alleged 23-year-old assailant contacted the police shortly after the incident, implying a complex narrative that could give insight into the motives and the relationship between the victim and the attacker. Investigators are expected to explore these angles further as they piece together the events leading up to this violent act.
