The events date back to Sunday, April 19, when a group of youths allegedly pursued two boys, reportedly linked to another gang. After catching up with them, they physically assaulted them, and one of the victims was stabbed multiple times.

Following the attack, the alleged perpetrators fled the scene. Hours later, one of the individuals involved, a 20-year-old man, voluntarily reported to the police station in Torrejón de Ardoz, where he admitted his participation in the events and was arrested for attempted homicide.

The police investigation continued in the subsequent weeks, leading to the arrest on April 29 of the other four suspects, aged between 17 and 20. All of them are charged with the same offenses, in addition to belonging to a criminal group.

According to the investigation, the individuals involved had previously located the victim through social media conversations, which allowed for his identification at the Alcalá de Henares shopping center on the day of the incident.

The 15-year-old victim suffered stab wounds to the buttocks and back, requiring transfer to Gregorio Marañón Hospital for medical treatment.
