An unprecedented incident for the city took place last night in Preveza, in the outdoor area where the “Festival of Sardines” was taking place. While hundreds of people were celebrating – and without anyone realizing anything – a middle-aged man who was enjoying himself with his family at the celebration was attacked with a knife.

According to local media, a young man approached and stabbed the victim at least twice, injuring him in the head and neck.

A great commotion followed, after the victim, covered in blood, crossed the parking lot, until he received first aid from the people of the municipality, who then called the port police and the EMS.

An EKAV ambulance went to the scene and picked up the injured man who was taken to the Preveza Hospital, where he was provided with the necessary medical care.

The Port Authority of Preveza has undertaken the investigation of the incident, receiving statements from eyewitnesses, who were unable to explain the cause of the attack.

The perpetrator disappeared immediately after the incident and is wanted by the authorities.
