A 46 year old man is in the Costa del Sol hospital after allegedly being stabbed by his girlfriend. The woman, aged 38 years, is also in hospital with minor cuts after what is thought to have been a self-harming incident.
The Emergency Services were called to a house in Fuente Nueva, Marbella, where they found the man suffering from stab wounds to the thorax. He was taken to the Intensive Care Unit at the Costa del Sol hospital where his condition is said to be serious but stable.
The woman was eventually taken to the University Hospital in Málaga for psychiatric assessment and is currently under guard.
It appears that the woman stabbed her boyfriend and then cut herself with the knife in a self-harming action.
According to reports, the couple had lived together for seven years and there had been no incidents of violence in the past. Neighbours said they had never even heard the couple argue, not even on the night of the stabbing.
