Student arrested for stabbing another at a high school in Girona
The events took place in Narcís Xifra around 1 p.m. and the victim has been taken to the hospital, but has already been discharged.
GironaThe Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a minor student for stabbing another at a high school in Girona. As reported by Ràdio Girona and confirmed by the Mossos to el ARA, the events took place around 1 p.m. at the Narcís Xifra Institute, when the two students were fighting. One of them attacked the other with a bladed weapon in the schoolyard and has been arrested for assault.
The victim was taken to the Josep Trueta Hospital, but her life is not in danger, as the injuries were minor and required stitches, and she has already been discharged. Both students are minors and are in the final stage of secondary school – between third and fourth year of ESO –; therefore, they would be between 15 and 16 years old. For now, the reasons for the confrontation are unknown.
The Narcís Xifra Institute is located in the Pont Major neighborhood, at the northern entrance of the city, one of the most humble areas of the Girona capital, between Pedret, Montjuïc, and Sarrià de Ter. It is a school with many students, which in recent years has strongly invested in vocational training, with many disciplines taught exclusively at this center, to the detriment of ESO and baccalaureate courses, which have been losing importance.
In the entrance and exit plaza, there had been occasional brawls, insults, or pranks from some problematic student or former student, but never any major fight with bladed weapon injuries like the one that led to the arrest of the minor involved. Nor in the inner courtyard of the center, which has a series of basketball courts and a whole meadow that leads to the Ter river.
