A 21-year-old man has been accused of attempted murder after he beat his partner, fracturing her ribs.

A 21-year-old man has been charged by Bucharest prosecutors with attempted murder and deprivation of liberty after he assaulted his partner, a 22-year-old woman. The incident took place on April 25, 2026, at the man's residence in sector 3 of Bucharest, where he committed repeated acts of physical violence, using his fists, feet, and a blunt object.

The victim suffered serious injuries, including rib fractures and pneumothorax, requiring surgical intervention. After the assault, the man restricted her freedom, preventing her from seeking help. The woman managed to alert the authorities at the moment they went together to a shopping complex. The man was detained for 24 hours, and prosecutors proposed preventive arrest for 30 days. This situation arises in the context of the recent enactment of the Law for the Prevention and Combat of Femicide, which aims to raise awareness of abuses against women.
