Reveller carries on drinking for the rest of the night after being stabbed six times in pub fight
A MAN who was stabbed six times in a pub fight in Madrid carried on drinking and partying with his mates for another four hours or so, despite being seriously injured, emergency services report.
The 36-year-old was knifed in the abdomen and chest, and two of his wounds were very deep and bleeding profusely – but he did not allow a minor detail like this to get in the way of his night out.
Eventually, his friends told him he ought to call for an ambulance, and he rang the 112 hotline at around 05.30hrs.
Paramedics rushed out to the bar on the C/ Sepúlveda in the Madrid neighbourhood of Aluche, and say the victim was still conscious when they got there.
However, they realised he was in fact in a critical condition, despite having carried on drinking and enjoying himself for over four hours after he had been stabbed.
He was rushed to the capital's Hospital Clínico where he underwent emergency surgery before being admitted to intensive care, where his condition is still said to be very serious.
Ambulance staff wanted to know why the man's friends had not called them as soon as it had happened, even if the victim himself did not intend to do so.
