A 25-year-old in Spain has been arrested for stabbing an editor at a daily newspaper days after the outlet reported on a previous knifing attack he had been convicted of.
Andrés de Vicente Fuentes of Pontevedra reportedly barged into the offices of La Voz de Galicia “visibly upset” on Friday afternoon and “began to yell at an administration employee” about a story published by the outlet earlier that week, according to La Voz. The man then revealed “hidden a kitchen rolling pin and a knife, with which he began to hit some of the computer equipment that was in the area of the entrance,” the outlet said.
When the administration employee fled the scene to a nearby supermarket, “the attacker took the opportunity to access the newsroom and destroy everything that was found in his path,” the daily added.
