Machete attack in Ahome

In the community of Agua Nueva, municipality of Ahome, a 27-year-old young man suffered a twelve-centimeter wound to the skull after being attacked with a machete. The victim, identified as Víctor Arturo “N”, was admitted to a hospital in Los Mochis.

The events occurred after the attacked person went for a walk with a friend. When he returned her to her home, a relative of the young woman—according to testimonies—pulled out a machete and hit him on the head. Neighbors helped the injured man and took him to the hospital.

The State Attorney General’s Office was notified of this new attack with a knife. In Sinaloa, the use of machetes outside of agricultural hours and areas is prohibited.
