Dutch tourist stabbed in Napels, another badly hurt in fall from Salou balcony

A 23-year-old Dutch tourist was stabbed in Naples last weekend. This happened during the night from Saturday to Sunday at a nightlife venue on the Via dei Tribunali in the centre of the Italian city.

The Dutchman was hit in the chest with a stabbing object during a fight with a group of young people, Italian media reported. He was seriously injured and taken to hospital, but is not believed to be in mortal danger.

The Dutchman was out with his girlfriend, who called for help after the stabbing. The police are looking for the perpetrators. They may also be tourists.

This was not the only incident regarding a Dutch tourist this week as a Dutch man in his early 20s suffered serious head injuries after falling from the balcony of a hotel in Salou, Spain. Regional media reported on Monday that he had been drinking a lot of alcohol. He was rushed to a hospital in the city of Tarragona.

The victim was staying at the H10 Vintage Salou hotel, not far from the beach. Friends of the man reportedly did not notice that he was gone due to excessive drinking. They only discovered it when ambulance staff and police officers came inside.
