Shocking Incident in the Heart of Lisbon: Armed Attack on a Tourist in Baixa

The recent events on the streets of Lisbon really make one think. Yesterday, a very sad event took place right in the heart of the Baixa region, one of the most touristic and lively spots of the city. A 41-year-old Swiss tourist woman walking on the street was shot in the chest for resisting a mugging attempt.

How did the incident develop?

According to Correio da Manhã, the two people at the scene are well-known to the police, trying to sell fake marijuana in the middle of the street. They block the woman and start harassing her.

Of course, the tourist lady does not remain silent about this rudeness; He says he will react and call the police. Thereupon, one of the murderers takes up a gun in that crowded corner where Rua dos Correeiros and Rua da Assunção intersect. They shoot the woman in the chest area and run away. Fortunately, medical teams (INEM) arrived immediately and took him to the hospital; The woman's life is not in danger, this is our greatest consolation. But the scary thing is that this is the second case of violence against people in Lisbon in the last two days.

Does Tourists' Favorite Baixa Inspire Trust?

The place we call Baixa is normally a region full of cafes, boutique hotels and souvenir shops, where people happily take tours and drink coffee. Its historical texture is fascinating, we all know that. But hearing this kind of news over and over lately makes one wonder, "Where are we going?" It causes him to say: Everyone must be a little more careful in these streets, which are crowded during the day and at night, and the authorities must increase security measures.
