A young man, approximately 20 years old, sustained minor knife injuries during a brawl involving about ten individuals on Madrid's central Gran Vía, specifically at number 45, on Friday night.

The National Police received a report of the incident around 10:30 PM. Upon arrival, officers found the victim with a wound to his left hemithorax, who was then treated by Samur medical personnel.
Despite an initial mild prognosis, the injured individual was transported to Hospital Clínico as a potentially serious patient. As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
The National Police has launched an investigation to clarify the exact circumstances of the altercation. Although some media outlets have suggested a possible link to Latin gangs, the police force has not confirmed this hypothesis.
One notable aspect for authorities is that the brawl occurred early in the evening, as such incidents typically take place much later in the early morning hours.
