Mallorca scissors stabbing: Prosecutors seek eight years

Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands: prosecutors seek eight years in prison after a man who tried to stop a fight was allegedly stabbed in the back with scissors. The accused goes on trial on Monday, 9 November, over the alleged attack in the early hours of 27 May 2026. The hearing is due to begin at 10.00 before the Second Chamber of the Balearic Islands Provincial Court.

According to prosecutors, the accused was arguing and scuffling with several people inside an establishment. Another man tried to calm him down, but the accused turned on him, followed him outside and stabbed him. The accused fled, but officers from Spain’s National Police stopped him.

Prosecutors allege attempted murder and seek nearly €11,000 in compensation. They say the accused’s ability to think and control his actions was impaired at the time, though not entirely lost, and consider this a mitigating factor.
