French Man Who Reportedly Stabbed UK National Arrested At Airport

A 25 year old French man has been arrested at the Malta International Airport after days of investigation after he reportedly stabbed another man in Triq il-Wilġa, St Julian’s.

The case took place on October 1st 2026, when at around 1500hrs, police were informed that an ambulance had been called on site after a 22 year old UK national suffered light injuries due to a sharp weapon.

Through CCTV and other investigations, the police learned that, whilst the victim was walking, a person was spotted exiting a vehicle, approaching the victim and then fleeing the site.

Police continued investigations and, yesterday morning, arrested the alleged aggressor as he was about to catch a flight to the UK. From searches on his luggage, the police found items related to the attack.

The man is expected to be arraigned in court today at around noon.
