Suspect apprehended following a brutal assault involving stabbing and violent thrown-out-the-window incident targeting spouse.

In a shocking incident, a 35-year-old man was arrested in Manresa, Barcelona, on Saturday morning. The man, whose name remains undisclosed, was charged with attempted murder, domestic violence, and violating the terms of a restraining order.

The attack occurred at the man's home at 6:00 AM local time. According to reports, the man stabbed his wife and threw her out of a window, causing her to fall from a height of four meters. The woman was hospitalized in critical condition but was discharged on Sunday morning.

The incident has sparked concern and calls for action from various quarters. The Order of Lawyers in Portugal is advocating for changes in legislation and societal views to reduce the incidence of domestic violence. They have highlighted the alarming statistic that only 13% of suspects involved in domestic violence cases in Portugal are convicted.

In Portugal, citizens can report domestic violence incidents by dialling 112 or by using the Electronic Complaint Portal at queixaselectronicas.mai.gov.pt. For deaf citizens, two specific apps are available: one at http://www.112.pt/Paginas/Home.aspx and another at www.gnr.pt/MVC_GNR/Home/SmsSegurança. The nearest GNR post in Portugal can be found at www.gnr.pt/contactos.aspx.

It's important to note that the man arrested in Manresa had 20 previous convictions, according to police sources. This incident underscores the urgent need for effective measures to address domestic violence and protect victims.

As the investigation continues, the focus remains on the victim's recovery and the pursuit of justice in this tragic case.
