Machete Attack in Abandoned Madrid School Sparks Safety Concerns

A fight with machetes in an abandoned school in Puente de Vallecas has left one person with a partially amputated hand. The incident highlights the concerns of local residents and the dangers associated with abandoned buildings. The former Fernán Caballero school, located opposite the Ana Mogas school, has become a haven for squatters and drug use. A Telemadrid reporter gained access to the building and described the scene as 'insupportable', showing piles of trash, discarded furniture, and people sleeping amidst the debris. "Here, the sale and consumption of drugs is the order of the day," the reporter stated, emphasizing the dangers for nearby children. The incident underscores the need for authorities to address the issue of abandoned buildings and the safety of local communities. The local council is urged to take immediate action to secure the property and prevent further incidents.
