News & Alerts Violence at the market

I was just at the market and noticed a bunch of people running with blood gushing out of their heads and necks. Does anyone know what occurred?

There were a few of the market vendors who looked like they had been stabbed or cut with knives or sharp objects.

I also noticed a family with strollers and the dad also had been cut and was bleeding very badly.

One of the shop keepers came out with a wooden chair looking for the perpetrators.

But the market is closed on Sundays. What are you referring to?

It happened outside the market.

Sounds like someone tried to break up a fight of some sort. Valencia is a low crime city but no city of 800,000 people is immune to crime in general.

Yea I believe that’s what must have happened too, or maybe they were defending themselves against a robbery. The police showed up quickly and the commotion died down soon after. Hope no one was seriously injured.
