Father of Lamine Yamal Stunned in Mataró Parking Lot; Three Accused of Attempting Murder
Mounir Nasraoui, the father of Lamine Yamal, was stabbed many times on Wednesday night in a parking lot in Mataró, Spain. After being attacked while out for a stroll with his dog, Nasraoui got into an altercation with a number of people who made fun of him. When the argument turned violent, Nasraoui was stabbed as a result.
On suspicion of attempting murder, three people have been taken into custody. Fortunately, Nasraoui’s injuries are not life-threatening, so he is presently undergoing treatment at the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital in Badalona, where he was transferred right away.
Social media users have been sharing video footage of Nasraoui fighting with his assailants while sporting a T-shirt depicting Lamine Yamal. It was seen that police intervened to keep the groups apart.
The teenage FC Barcelona player, Lamine Yamal, posted a picture of his father on Instagram Stories with loving emoticons, but he hasn’t publicly commented on the situation.
Nasraoui has already ran afoul of the law; last year, he was fined for assaulting the tent of a far-right political group. The Yamal family, who are Moroccan in origin, live in the Rocafonda neighborhood, which has been rocked by the tragedy.
