A shocking incident has shaken the Neo Kosmos area of Athens, where a brutal attack left a 15-year-old boy with stab wounds. The assault, carried out by a group of approximately ten individuals, targeted four young people on a Sunday evening. While the victim is thankfully in stable condition at the Aglaia Kyriakou Children's Hospital, the brazenness of the attack and the youth of the victims are deeply concerning.
Video footage obtained by MEGA captures the moment the assailants fled the scene, underscoring the violent nature of the incident. This attack is not isolated; authorities are also investigating a potential link to another assault on a minor in the nearby Pagrati area. Such acts of violence, particularly against young people, are unacceptable and raise serious questions about public safety in our neighborhoods.
According to MEGA's report, the minor was taken to the Aglaia Kyriakou Children's Hospital, suffering stab wounds to his back and thigh. His health condition is not a cause for concern, as he is hospitalized out of danger, under the doctors' observation.
While the immediate focus is on apprehending those responsible and ensuring the victim's recovery, this event serves as a stark reminder of the need for increased vigilance and community safety measures. The Greek public expects swift action from the authorities to address this violence and prevent future occurrences. We must ensure that our streets are safe for everyone, especially our youth.
