“I condemn this homophobic attack most vehemently,” he tweeted. Spain’s Socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said there was no room for such hatred. The attack was condemned by politicians from all parties. The spokesman added: “The investigation is focusing on CCTV footage and on finding witnesses in order to identify the alleged attackers.” “They insulted him, threatened him with a knife, and cut him on the lower lip and on the buttock.” “The 20-year-old victim was entering his home when eight people – whose faces were covered with hoods and hats – managed to force their way into his hallway,” he said. A Policía Nacional spokesman said investigations were continuing into the Madrid attack, which happened at 5.15pm on Sunday.
