A Cuban woman attacks her girlfriend with a knife in Guardalavaca

The incident occurred in a shopping mall.


A Cuban woman was arrested this week in Guardalavaca, in the Holguin municipality of Banes, after attempting to attack another woman, who was her romantic partner, with a knife in a public place.

The event was reported by the official pro-government Facebook profile Cazador-Cazado, who clarified that the incident took place at the Los Flamboyanes shopping center.

The source identified the aggressor as "Virgen Suleydi", whom it described as a "little character from Gibara."

"She was there with another girl who was her partner, and she fell apart badly with her, causing a commotion that they had to call the police for," indicated the official profile, which did not provide further details about the alleged cause of the violent incident.

The story didn't end there, as when the woman was taken to the police station, she attempted to bribe an officer with a 20-dollar bill, "which was turned down," the source concluded.

“If it reaches 100 dollars, they'll let it go”, noted an internet user ironically in the comments.

After the publication, the comments section became a space for intense confrontation.

The debate highlighted a strong polarization between those who value the public exposure of crimes as a form of social justice and those who see it as a harmful, sensationalist practice that infringes on privacy.

As of the closing of this note, there are no further details regarding the case.
