Police in Beni Mellal arrested a 22-year-old man on Monday evening in connection with a violent assault involving a blunt instrument.

The arrest followed a judicial investigation launched after a university student suffered severe injuries in an attack near the city’s university housing. The victim was hospitalized for treatment, and police inquiries quickly led to the identification and apprehension of the suspect at his family’s home in Beni Mellal.

Preliminary findings suggest the suspect knew the victim, as both were students at the same university. The assault reportedly stemmed from a personal dispute, the nature and background of which are currently under investigation.

The suspect has been placed in custody under the supervision of the public prosecutor’s office as authorities continue to probe the circumstances surrounding the case.
