Video of the incident shows rescue workers trying to save the victim’s life. Madrid Emergencies reported that the stabbing occurred at the park located on Alberique Street. 
 

National Police officers were the first to arrive and began resuscitation maneuvers (CPR) on the victim, who was “bleeding profusely.”
Medics from Samur-Protección Civil arrived shortly after to continue cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

After 30 minutes, the medical staff determined that “nothing could be done to save his life” and confirmed the victim’s death.
Eyewitnesses, who identified the suspect “without a doubt,” described the perpetrator as a homeless individual and a drug user.

After the stabbing, the suspect fled on foot and was located an hour later on Emilio Ferrari Street.
Although he was “covered in blood,” he was no longer in possession of the murder weapon.

Investigators believe the stabbing occurred after the two “argued over a matter related to narcotics,” according to El Pais newspaper.
Forensic teams are working at the scene.
