Never seen this before: a young man who stabbed and injured a 14-year-old used platform TikTok to confess his crime and “correct” media reporting that the victim “was stabbed 7 to 8 times.”
In a truly provocative “confession” video, the attacker poses with a knife and he admits that he and his friend “managed to stab the teenager three times and not 7-8 as the TV channels say.”
The attacked and his friend who stabbed the minor boast about the stabbing as it was an “achievement.”

The boast about the stabbing as it was an “achievement.”
At the same time, the lyrics of a song can be heard in the video, which say “I don’t forget about everything you said, I swear to my mother we’ll open holes in you…
The incident took place in Holargos suburb of northern Athens, last Saturday.
Attackers and victim knew each other and the first lured the latter to the attack they had planned with a girl as a bait. They set him a trap through Instagram, with the girl contacting him and claiming she wanted to meet him.
The boy went to the date to meet a 20-year-old girl and her friend when suddenly two other boys appeared and started stabbing the minor.
On the video the perpetrators claim that the attack was carried out to protect their family.
According to media, a “personal difference” between the 14-year-old and the two young men from Keratsini was the reason for the almost murderous attack on the minor.
The victim managed to escape and holding his bleeding belly ran into a coffee shop where he asked for help. he was transferred with an ambulance to a hospital.
Later, the victim named the perpetrators of the attack to authorities.
In the some 3-minute-long video, the perpetrator says “yes, I have a criminal record,” claiming, however, that “I have never hurt someone who didn’t hurt me. He attacked us first with a knife and then I took it out to defend myself.”
KTG understands that the two perpetrators aged 17 and 19, have not been arrested yet.
UPDATE: at least one of the perpetrators was arrested on Wednesday, a 15-year-old teenager…
PS I live in a country where young boys consider “2-3 stabbings” as normal behavior…
