Two men have been arrested in Ibiza on suspicion of attempted homicide following a violent altercation in which both allegedly suffered serious injuries after being attacked with a broken glass bottle and scissors.

The arrests were made by the National Police after the confrontation, which took place at the beginning of last week. The police investigation remains open and is being handled by the UDEV, the National Police's specialised violent-crime unit in Ibiza.

Police Officer Raises the Alarm

The incident came to police attention after an off-duty National Police officer encountered one of the men while he was bleeding and asking for help as he made his way towards a nearby restaurant.

The officer immediately contacted the 091 emergency number.

Two patrols from the Citizen Security unit arrived shortly afterwards and located the other man who had allegedly been involved in the confrontation.

Fight Involved Broken Glass and Scissors

According to the accounts given to police, the two men had initially become involved in a heated argument that escalated into a physical confrontation.

One of the men told officers that the other had broken a glass bottle over his head and subsequently caused several cuts to his body.

The other man gave a different account, alleging that he had been attacked with scissors during the fight. The scissors were subsequently located by officers.

According to his account, the attack caused cuts to his back, arm and stomach area.

Because both men gave accounts accusing the other of assault, the exact sequence of events remains under investigation.

Mutual Death Threats Allegedly Made

Police said their initial enquiries indicated that the confrontation had escalated to the point where both men allegedly threatened each other with death in the presence of officers.

Investigators are continuing to reconstruct what happened and determine the individual responsibilities of the two men.

Investigation Linked to Living Situation

According to information provided by the National Police, the initial investigation indicates that the argument began over problems involving coexistence in an occupied property where the two men were living.

The exact circumstances surrounding the dispute and the subsequent violence remain under investigation.

The description of the property as occupied comes from the police account and does not establish the legal status of the property beyond that description.

Both Men Taken to Can Misses Hospital

Both men suffered injuries during the confrontation and required medical attention.

After receiving treatment from emergency medical services, they were taken to Can Misses Hospital because of the seriousness of their injuries.

The available reports do not indicate that either man died or provide a definitive assessment of their injuries beyond describing them as serious.

Arrests on Suspicion of Attempted Homicide

The National Police arrested both men on suspicion of homicide in the attempted stage, the offence classification reported by the police.

An arrest on suspicion of an offence does not constitute a conviction.

The UDEV of the Ibiza police station remains responsible for the investigation, which is intended to clarify the full circumstances of the confrontation and determine the responsibilities of those involved.

What Is Confirmed

The available police information establishes that:

• Two men were arrested in Ibiza.

• Both are of Moroccan origin.

• The arrests followed a physical confrontation.

• A broken glass bottle and scissors were allegedly used during the fight.

• Both men sustained injuries and were taken to Can Misses Hospital.

• Police classified the suspected offence as attempted homicide.

• An off-duty police officer alerted the 091 emergency service after encountering one of the injured men.

• The UDEV is continuing the investigation.

The investigation has not yet established a definitive account of who initiated the violence or exactly how the confrontation unfolded.

Ibiza One Stop Accuracy Note

This should be reported as an ongoing police investigation and two arrests on suspicion of attempted homicide, not as a confirmed attempted homicide conviction.

Both men reportedly gave accounts accusing the other of attacking them. One alleged that the other struck him with a broken bottle and cut him, while the other alleged that scissors were used against him. Police subsequently located the scissors.

The National Police said the dispute initially arose from problems of coexistence in an occupied property and that the men allegedly threatened each other with death during the confrontation.

Both were taken to Can Misses Hospital for treatment, and the UDEV investigation remains open.

The article does not describe either man as guilty because no conviction has been reported.
