Overview

• The Mossos d’Esquadra detained a 40-year-old man Thursday evening, accusing him of attempted homicide and serious injuries after a multi-group clash at Amposta’s patronal festivities.
• Investigators from the Unidad de Investigación de Amposta identified and located the suspect within hours of the early-morning brawl on the paseo del Canal Marítimo.
• Emergency services treated six wounded partygoers—five stabbed and one with a blunt-force eye injury—and urgently transferred four to Hospital Verge de la Cinta in Tortosa.
• Authorities have not determined what triggered the confrontation between rival groups and say they do not rule out further arrests as inquiries continue.
• Mayor Adam Tomàs’s office announced enhanced security measures for the remainder of the festival following the violent outbreak.
