They didn't gas him, he got into an argument with a beach boy and stabbed two customers at a gas station in Recoleta.

A man aged 36 stabbed two customers during a dispute at a service station in Recoleta, Argentina. The incident occurred around 20:13 on Sunday when the attacker, a Venezuelan national with prior convictions, was involved in a conflict over an expired GNC plate with another customer. The altercation escalated into a physical fight involving employees and customers, prompting the father and son to intervene. The suspect then attacked both victims, causing injuries to the son’s neck and the father’s leg. Police arrived after a 911 call, found a 'tramontina' type knife discarded in a trash bin, and detained the suspect. Both victims were taken to hospital but are out of danger.

A 36-year-old man stabbed a father and his son at a service station in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, during an altercation over a fuel card issue. The incident occurred around 8:13 p.m. on Sunday near the intersection of Paraguay and Montevideo streets. The victims, a 61-year-old man and his 28-year-old son, were treated at the Hospital Fernández and are reported to be out of danger. The man arrived at the station in a Volkswagen Voyage and was engaged in a dispute with a station employee over an expired GNC voucher. The argument escalated into a physical confrontation. The father and son, who had arrived in a Chevrolet Agile to refuel their vehicle, intervened to separate the individuals involved. At that point, the 36-year-old allegedly drew a knife and attacked both men. The younger victim suffered a cut-and-stab wound to the neck, while the father sustained an injury to his left thigh. After the attack, the suspect tried to discard the knife in a waste bin located at the fuel pumps. Police responding to a 911 call recovered the weapon, identified as a Tramontina-style knife. The suspect, a Venezuelan national, has prior criminal records, including one for property damage this May and another for a fight in November 2024. He was detained by police and placed at the disposal of the justice system. According to police reports, the conflict began when the 36-year-old’s GNC voucher was found to be expired. This led to a verbal exchange with the station employee, which turned into a physical fight. The father and son attempted to mediate, prompting the attacker to pull out a knife and strike them both. Both victims were transported to the Hospital Fernández by emergency services and are currently stable. The case continues under investigation.
