A group of about 40 men, immigrants from Bangladesh, were involved in attacks outside a cafeteria Saturday afternoon on Dr. Aires Gouveia (street) next to the emergency room of the Saint Anthony Hospital in Porto. Sticks, iron bars, and knives were used in the confrontations.

Only one of those involved, a 48-year-old, was hospitalized. He had two cuts to the head. He is not in a life-threatening condition.

The PSP (police) was called to the scene and identified two men suspected of participating in the attacks. neither was detained.

The attacks were filmed. The suspects fled in the direction of Restoration (street).

*Update: (July 9, 2024). Latest reports from Portuguese media suggest the reason for the brawl was "political". No word on whether it was Portuguese politics, Bangladeshi politics, or Trump supporters vs. Biden supporters.
