Spain: Waiter Attacked by Knifeman, Citizens Disarm and Detain Assailant (Video)

A man, who appears to be a migrant, was arrested for attacking a waiter with a knife in San Sebastián. The attacker was a regular customer who became enraged when the waiter offered two lollipops to the girls accompanying him.

The incident occurred at 3:00 p.m. on the terrace of a bar in the Amara neighborhood. According to a colleague of the victim, the attacker was known as a calm person, making his outburst surprising. The situation escalated when the waiter offered lollipops to the girls with the attacker, which prompted him to react violently.

Witnesses captured the events on their mobile phones as the attacker entered another establishment, retrieved a knife from the kitchen, and attempted to harm the waiter. Citizens managed to disarm and detain him until the Ertzaintza agents arrived.

The injured waiter was taken to Donostia Hospital for treatment. The authorities are investigating the incident, and the attacker is currently in custody.
