A 46-year-old British man has been arrested by Spain's National Police at Tenerife South Airport after arriving on a flight from Liverpool.He was wanted in connection with an alleged attempted murder that took place at a tourist complex in Adeje, southern Tenerife, in December 2025.According to police, the suspect was detained immediately after landing because an arrest warrant had been issued during an ongoing investigation.

Authorities allege that the victim, also reported to be a British national, suffered multiple stab wounds to vital areas of the body, including the neck, after being attacked with a large bladed weapon.The injuries were described as life-threatening, but the victim survived after a witness intervened during the incident.Investigators say the alleged attacker fled the scene, prompting a lengthy search that remained active until his return to the island.

Police also stated that the suspect has several other pending legal matters relating to alleged reckless driving, assaulting law enforcement officers and causing bodily harm.Officials have not disclosed a motive for the alleged attack, and no further details about the relationship between the two men have been released.

The article also notes that the arrest follows the recent detention in Tenerife of convicted fraudster Pamela Gwinnett, although that case is unrelated.The suspect in the stabbing investigation is expected to face judicial proceedings in Spain as the attempted murder investigation continues.
