The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a minor student at the Institut Narcís Xifra in Girona after he stabbed a classmate during a fight in the schoolyard.

The events took place around 1 PM this Friday at the Institut Narcís Xifra, located in Girona. According to confirmations from the Mossos d'Esquadra, the arrest occurred after one student attacked another with a bladed weapon in the school's courtyard during an altercation. The aggressor has been charged with assault.
The victim was transported to Josep Trueta Hospital, but their injuries, which required stitches, were classified as minor, and their life is not in danger. They have since been medically discharged. Both students are minors, aged between 15 and 16 years old, and are in their third or fourth year of ESO. The exact motives behind the confrontation remain unknown.
The Institut Narcís Xifra is situated in the Pont Major neighborhood, at the northern entrance of the city of Girona, an area known for its humble background. This educational center is notable for its large student body and its strong commitment to vocational training in recent years, offering unique disciplines in the region, while ESO and baccalaureate courses have seen a decline in enrollment.

Despite occasional incidents of vandalism or insults in the entrance square, a fight involving a bladed weapon of this severity, leading to the minor's arrest, had never been recorded before.
