An 18-year-old man stabbed on Sunday night amid a recent spike in violent assaults in the capital is in critical condition.
The man was stabbed near the Islamic University in Malé around 8:55pm, a police spokesperson said, after which the police promptly arrested 20 suspects and impounded three motorbikes.
Ahmed Afaal, managing director of the ADK private hospital, told the Maldives Independent that the victim is in critical condition at the intensive care unit.
He was transferred to the ICU around midnight when his condition worsened. Afaal was unable to provide details of the injuries due to restrictions under the health services law.
