In Brief

On June 21, a man armed with a knife and stick broke into a 44-year-old German woman's motorhome near Almería, Spain. The victim was injured; a witness intervened, and the suspect was arrested after fleeing into the sea.

On June 21 at around 5:30 p.m., an unknown man entered a motorhome belonging to a 44-year-old German tourist at a caravan site near the mouth of the Andarax River close to Almería, Spain. According to sources, the attacker was armed with a knife and a stick, inflicting multiple injuries including cuts and bruises to the woman's face and body. Some reports indicate he also attempted sexual assault.

The victim resisted and her screams attracted a passerby who intervened and alerted the police. The suspect tried to escape by running into the sea but, due to strong wind and waves, began to drown. Five police officers rescued and arrested him. During the arrest, several officers were reportedly injured.

The tourist was hospitalized. The suspect's identity remains unknown as he had no documents; he is believed to be from Senegal or Gambia. He faces charges of assault, sexual violence, grievous bodily harm, and resisting arrest.
