(Malaga capital) It might not be politically correct to say the obvious, but when you hear of a stabbing, involving an Eastern European, the said person isn’t normally on the receiving end.

Around eleven in the evening a 37-year-old Eastern-European man was forced into a stairwell in an apartment block along Calle Alfambra in Málaga by small swarthy chap with a knife. Once inside, two other men joined the aggressor; all three were described as being dark-skinned and short. They thought that it might be a good idea for him to hand over all his cash – he wasn’t too keen.

They tried to search him but he fought them off, but he received two stab wounds to each thigh. Unfortunately, one of the stab wounds severed a major artery and there was blood all over the place.

The thieves managed to make off with 300 euros, leaving the man to his fate. He managed to hobble out into the street and sit in an entrance to a garage, waiting for somebody to pass by and offer him assistance. A few litres of blood later some young lads passed by and instead of beating the crap out of him (this isn’t the UK remember) they flagged down a Local Police patrol car.

The police managed to rush him to hospital before he ran completely out of blood and his condition, at the time of going to press, is said to be reservada, i.e., meaning that it could go either way.

The muggers had better hope that their victim does not belong to an illicit but lucrative club…
