Overview
- One year after the attack, Mounir Nasraoui appeared before Mataró’s Investigating Court No. 3 as an ‘imputado’ at the defense’s request and said he only tried to protect himself.
- Case files detail four separate accounts, including a neutral witness living in a nearby car, asserting Nasraoui was chased and stabbed as he tried to run away.
- The accused maintains he acted in self-defense, saying he grabbed a knife from a friend of Nasraoui and struck after a punch he claims broke his nose.
- Police detained four alleged aggressors after the incident, and the suspected stabber was initially jailed before being released with charges in December 2024.
- The confrontation began hours earlier when water was thrown from a balcony, and Nasraoui later suffered three life‑threatening stab wounds that required intensive care at Can Ruti hospital.
