Three people have been arrested and a fourth is wanted after a knife attack on the father of young Spanish&nbsp;football&nbsp;star Lamine Yamal in Catalonia, local police told AFP Thursday.

The attack took place at 1910 GMT on Wednesday in a car park in the Catalan town of Mataro, around 30 kilometres from Barcelona, in the Rocafonda neighbourhood where Lamine Yamal is from, said a spokesman for the Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan regional police force.

Yamal's father Mounir Nasraoui was stabbed several times, the police said, and is being treated at the Can Ruti hospital, but could not be reached by AFP for comment.

Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reported late Wednesday that Nasraoui was in a serious but stable condition, citing sources close to the victim.

Catalan police said the three people arrested are being questioned at Mataro police station, while a fourth individual is being actively sought.

Investigators must also interview the victim 'as soon as possible', as well as witnesses, to uncover the circumstances of the attack, said the police.

La Vanguardia said the incident occurred after an argument in the street with some men who had approached him while he was walking his dog and later returned to assault him.

Yamal made his Barcelona debut aged 15 in April 2023 and burst into the limelight last season, becoming a key player for the Catalan giants.

The Spanish winger played a key role for his country as La Roja triumphed at Euro 2024 for a record fourth time, becoming the youngest-ever footballer to play and score in the competition's history.

Yamal's father and grandmother still live in Rocafonda and he tends to celebrate goals by making a '304' gesture with his hands, referring to the postcode of his neighbourhood.

Nasraoui became famous during the European Championship for his social media presence and media appearances, frequently posting content showing his support for his son.

A man was taken into custody after six people, including four girls, at a movie theater, were stabbed in separate attacks that may be connected, police in Massachusetts said.

Police said a man came into the AMC Braintree 10 south of Boston at about 6 pm Saturday and entered one of the theaters without paying.

The girls, ages 9 to 17, were inside the theater. The man, unprovoked, suddenly attacked them “without saying anything and without any warning” before running out, the Braintree Police Department said in a news release. The four suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and were taken to hospitals.

Video footage showed the man’s vehicle and a license plate, and the information was broadcast to law enforcement, police said.

Another stabbing incident rocks Sydney as man assaults four in church, 15-year-old boy arrested

Australians are mourning the death of five women and security guard killed in a stabbing attack at a Sydney shopping centre. Watch to know more.

Australians mourn the death of 6 people, PM Albanese pays tribute to victims

Residents of Sydney in Australia are picking up the pieces after the stabbing incident inside a shopping mall in the city on Saturday. Six people including five women and one male security guard were killed.

Sydney attack: Attacker identified, probe underway

An Indian-origin couple found themselves in the middle of the chaos that ensued during the Sydney stabbings. Notably, a man went on a stabbing spree at a bustling Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre in Sydney killing six.

Indian couple, Shoi Ghoshal and her husband, Debashis Chakrabarty, recounted their harrowing experience in a conversation with a Western media outlet. The duo detailed to BBC how they sought refuge in a backroom in a bid to fortify themselves with cardboard boxes alongside dozens of others.

Ghoshal also described the initial confusion within the store. She said that there were sounds of commotion leading to the realisation of a grave threat. But they thought it was a fire at the shopping hub.&nbsp;

But she recalled “people were saying someone is stabbing rampantly”. “We went into a backroom, a storeroom, and used boxes to barricade ourselves in,” she added.

As per Ghoshal, there were about 20 to 25 people who were seeking cover at the storeroom. As they huddled together, Ghoshal recounted the anguish of an elderly woman separated from her husband outside.

Amid distress, the group maintained contact with authorities. Later, they received instructions to remain calm and await rescue. They were eventually evacuated through the emergency exit. Upon their exit, they saw many police cars positioned there.

Reflecting on their ordeal, Ghoshal expressed gratitude for their safety while also pointing out at the profound impact on those who lost loved ones.

“It was just beyond horrible. It plays on your mind that you could have been one of the victims. We are grateful we are safe and our thoughts are with those who have suffered. It is terrible for their families,” she told the outlet.

The country is in shock over the incident.

Six people were killed and a nine-month-old baby&nbsp;was among several others injured when an attacker wielding a knife went on a stabbing spree at a crowded shopping centre in Sydney, Australia on Saturday (Apr 13) afternoon, till a woman police officer acted alone, confronted the accused and shot him dead, said the New South Wales police.&nbsp;

“He turned faced her raised a knife. She discharged a firearm and that person is now deceased,” Cooke added. He also said that early investigations suggest the man acted alone and that there is no ongoing threat.

“This all happened very, very quickly - the officer that was in the vicinity attended on her own, was guided to the location of the offender by people who were in the centre.” 
 
“She took the actions that she did saving a range of people’s lives; an inspector, a senior police officer - she was on her own. She engaged immediately on her arrival to the scene,” Cooke said about the&nbsp;officer who shot the alleged attacker.&nbsp;

An eyewitness said the woman officer tackled the situation very calmly and asked the attacker to drop his knife. However, the attacker lunged at the cop with his knife.

One shopper named Adriana told state broadcaster ABC News was with her two daughters at a beauty store when they heard gunshots.&nbsp;

Indian man kills wife a week after reaching Canada, calls family to inform

A Bengaluru woman is under investigation for attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her husband in a domestic dispute sparked by a missed anniversary gift.

The incident, which occurred in Bengaluru's tech corridor, where 37-year-old Kiran, a private firm employee, sustained injuries after his wife, 35-year-old Sandhya, allegedly stabbed him while he slept, provoked by not receiving a wedding anniversary gift.

Reports from the police indicate that the altercation unfolded in the early hours of February 27 when Sandhya, disappointed over not receiving an anniversary gift, resorted to violence, stabbing Kiran with a kitchen knife while he slept.

The attack was said to be fuelled by Sandhya's frustration, compounded by Kiran's inability to provide a gift due to his grandfather's recent passing away. Despite sustaining injuries to his hand, Kiran managed to defend himself and seek medical help with the assistance of neighbours, prompting police intervention.

The Bellandur police formally filed charges against Sandhya on March 1, following a medico-legal report from the hospital. While the authorities acknowledge the familial nature of the incident, they underscore the severity of the allegations, prompting a comprehensive investigation.

However, the police have allowed the couple time to privately address the underlying issues, suggesting that personal struggles and Sandhya's emotional turmoil may have contributed to her actions. Kiran has expressed a desire for his wife to undergo counselling to address these issues.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the domestic pressures individuals face and the necessity of mental health support during personal crises. It prompts a broader conversation about societal expectations and the potential consequences of unmet personal expectations.&nbsp;

Knife-wielding woman stabs four on Tokyo train, three injured

Kenyan police said on Monday they had arrested two people in connection with the weekend stabbing to death of Ugandan athlete Benjamin Kiplagat.

The two men -- believed to be in their 30s -- were arrested on the outskirts of the Rift Valley town of Eldoret, local police commander Stephen Okal said.

"The two suspects are known criminals who have been terrorising the members of public," Okal told AFP. &nbsp;"We are in the advanced stage of the investigations and we will possibly be sending them to court tomorrow."

The Kenyan-born Kiplagat had represented Uganda internationally in the 3,000m steeplechase, including at several Olympic Games and World Championships.

The 34-year-old's body was found in a car on Saturday night with a deep knife wound to his neck.

While the motive of the killing was still unknown, police said investigations had shown that Kiplagat had been "waylaid" by the two men before he hit their motorcycle with his car.

"This probably provoked them into that violent act," Okal told AFP, referring to the stabbing.

One of the suspects had been arrested with a knife believed to have been used in the killing, he added.

Eldoret is known for being home to numerous athletes who undergo training in the high-altitude region.

Kiplagat, whose career spanned about 18 years, won the silver medal in the 3,000m steeplechase at the 2008 World Junior Championships and bronze at the Africa Championships in 2012.

He made the semi-finals of the event in the 2012 Olympics in London and also competed in Rio in 2016.

His death follows the killing in October 2021 of Kenyan distance running star Agnes Tirop who was found stabbed to death at the age of 25 in her home at Iten, a training hub near Eldoret.

Kenyan police said on Monday they had arrested two people in connection with the weekend stabbing to death of Ugandan athlete Benjamin Kiplagat. The two men -- believed to be in their 30s -- were arrested on the outskirts of the Rift Valley town of Eldoret, local police commander Stephen Okal said.

Two teenage girls were randomly stabbed by a man while enjoying a Christmas morning meal with their parents at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant on Monday (Dec 25).

Two teenage girls were randomly stabbed by a man while enjoying a Christmas morning meal with their parents at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant on Monday (Dec 25). The attacker undertook the stabbings, shortly after ranting that he wanted "all white people dead". According to the authorities, the girls, 14- and 16-year-olds were visiting the US from South America and enjoying a meal with their parents at Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse around noon. The attacker identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson reportedly got into an altercation with restaurant workers who were trying to remove him from the establishment. Hutcherson arrived at the restaurant and said he wanted a table but wasn't going to order anything. Upon being refused, he became agitated and pointed to the victims' family, arguing that they weren't eating anything either. “I want all the white people dead. I want to sit next to the crackers," he yelled before proceeding to grab a knife and stabbing the two teenagers. The older one was stabbed in the back while the younger suffered a knife wound in the thigh, the police said. Both teenagers were taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment and released a day later.
