Knife Attacks in Mar del Plata and Chaco Spur Self-Defense Probes

Prosecutors are evaluating possible self-defense in two ongoing investigations.

Overview

  • In Mar del Plata, two men aged 24 and 45 allegedly threatened a 37-year-old homeowner with knives over a disputed property and were injured when he fought back with an L-shaped metal pipe.
  • Police detained the pair and the SAME transferred them to the Hospital Interzonal General de Agudos, as Fiscal Eduardo Layús opened a case for aggravated threats with a bladed weapon.
  • The confrontation occurred on Gutenberg Bis al 7000; police sources reported the home had been sold legally by the younger assailant’s mother.
  • In Las Breñas, Chaco, an attacker identified as R.J.S. wounded his ex-partner’s face with a knife, and her 18-year-old son disarmed and stabbed him to protect her.
  • The woman was sent to Sanatorio Güemes in Resistencia for surgery, the attacker remains hospitalized under police custody, and the son was released with precautionary measures as investigators seized the knife, a phone, and the attacker’s wallet.
