In a dramatic incident in Palma de Mallorca, a 70-year-old man was attacked when he caught a thief stealing a rucksack from his car. The senior citizen, who was holding his two-year-old grandson in his arms at the time, was attacked with a knife after he confronted the perpetrator.

The incident took place when the grandfather left the house to take the little boy to daycare. When he noticed a young man tampering with his car, he confronted him. The perpetrator, who claimed that the car belonged to a friend, tried to prove his identity with his passport. But when the grandfather insisted that it was his car, the robber pulled out a knife without hesitation and stabbed him.

Despite the attack and the shock, the grandfather managed to return to the house and alert his son. Together they set off in search of the fugitive and were able to catch him in Calle Aragón. In a courageous operation, they held the perpetrator until the National Police arrived and arrested the 24-year-old man. It turned out that the young offender of North African origin had already been arrested several times in the previous week.

Fortunately, the grandfather only suffered minor injuries as his thick jacket protected him from more serious stabs. However, the rucksack, which contained 1000 euros in cash, was taken by the perpetrator and remains missing.

The incident triggers a renewed debate about security and crime in urban areas, highlighting the brave response of the grandfather and his son. This act of courage underscores the risks citizens must face when protecting property and family. isla Magazine and Ultima Hora will stay tuned to report further developments in this disturbing story.
