In Heraklion, Crete, police have arrested four individuals, including a minor, following an attack on a 19-year-old. The incident reportedly occurred on Thursday evening, February 19, 2026, when the young man reported to the local police station that he had been physically assaulted by young people due to personal disputes. The situation raised concerns not only about the assault but also about the responsibility of the minor's guardian.

The police investigation led to the arrest of a 19-year-old and a minor who are facing charges of causing simple bodily harm. The police also identified and apprehended two other men. Additionally, the 49-year-old guardian of the minor was arrested for failing to supervise the minor appropriately during the incident. This raises important questions about youth supervision and accountability in cases where minors are involved in criminal activity.

The arrested individuals are set to be presented to the appropriate prosecutorial authority, while the preliminary investigation is being conducted by the local police station. This case underscores the ongoing challenges related to youth violence and the judicial system's approach to managing such incidents, particularly in relation to juveniles involved in crimes against their peers.
