Reports from Slovakia detail two separate violent assaults involving minors and significant injuries.

In Sered, two 17-year-olds were taken into custody after a taxi driver was stabbed 13 times during an attempted vehicle theft. The suspects, identified as Denis and Samuel, reportedly targeted the driver to steal a car for travel to Bratislava. The victim sustained wounds to vital organs, and investigators noted that one suspect may have been under the influence of marijuana.

In Trebišov, a 15-year-old boy suffered severe lacerations to his head and arms following a machete attack on a street. The incident, which reportedly stemmed from family and verbal disputes, required the victim to be hospitalized in Košice for more than 42 days of treatment. Two men, aged 23 and 40, surrendered to police and are facing criminal proceedings for attempted murder in complicity and rioting. Both men were reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time.
