At least three people have been arrested on charges of attempted murder.
The father of the young Spanish football star and FC Barcelona player, Lamine Yamal, has been stabbed in a car park in the Rocafonda neighbourhood of Mataró.
Reports say at least three people have been arrested on charges of attempted murder, with the Mossos d’Esquadra investigating the incident in collaboration with local police.
Mounir Nasraoui was taken to the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital in Badalona, where he is receiving treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
Domestic media reports say that Nasraoui was insulted while walking his dog, resulting in a physical fight.
An unverified video shown on several Spanish media outlets on Thursday depicts a man wearing a Lamine Yamal T-shirt arguing with three other people.
In another video, the Guardia Urbana officers arrive at the scene and separate Nasraoui from his assailants.
Lamine Yamal has not publicly commented on the incident, but has uploaded a story on Instagram with an image of his father with several hearts.
Nasraoui was previously sentenced to pay a fine of €546 after attacking a tent belonging to the far-right VOX party last year.
The ‘blaugrana’ footballer comes from a family of Moroccan origin, and grew up in the neighbourhood of Rocafonda, in Mataró.
