Woman ran over at a bus stop in Alicante and then attacked with scissors and a knife

Accused of purposefully running over a 35-year-old woman at a bus stop in the rural district of El Rebolledo in Alicante and then attacking her with scissors and a knife, among other bladed weapons, a 37-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter were taken into custody by the National Police this week. Days after the two parties argued, the attack took place.
The event happened on Camino del Fardacho in El Rebolledo last Monday at approximately 11 a.m. Following their prompt response after being mobilised by the 091 dispatch team, officers from Grupo de Motos de Seguridad Ciudadana -los “Rayos” (the Citizen Security Motorcycle Group (the “Rayos”)) and the Alicante Central Police Station apprehended the two suspected offenders after the National Police received a report of a hit-and-run and assault with sharp objects at a bus stop.
The victim was hit by a car driven by a mother and her daughter as she was at a bus stop in El Rebolledo with her companion, according to police records. The accused motorist struck the victim in the leg after colliding into the bus stop and then turned around with the intention of striking her once more. After she finally pulled over, the mother and daughter used a knife and scissors to attack the wounded woman.
When receiving an 091 call, the National Police promptly responded and took the two attackers into custody when the victim’s boyfriend stepped in to stop additional beatings.
After arriving at the site, a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance treated the injured individual and transported her to a hospital, where she received treatment for cuts and bruises to several body regions; stitches were not required.
After that, forensic and judicial police officers showed up at the scene. They discovered the knife and scissors used in the assault when they were inspecting the detainee’s vehicle.

Two years in prison for smashing a glass in a young man’s face

The Alicante Court has sentenced a 33-year-old man to two years in prison for assaulting another man and causing facial injuries by breaking a glass during a dispute at a nightclub in Aspe.
The defendant, who was 27 years old at the time, arrived at the establishment with three other unidentified individuals at approximately 5:10 a.m. on February 17th, 2019. The altercation ensued within the establishment.
The victim was involved in an incident with the four for reasons that remain unexplained. The defendant struck him in the face with a glass, resulting in a fracture that needed medical attention, and the four individuals who were present at the time began punching and shoving him.
The victim, who was 22 years old at the time of the incident, required 63 days to recuperate from the injuries sustained in the attack, according to the sentence issued by a court in the Tenth Section.
At the commencement of the April 14th hearing, the defendant acknowledged the assault after reaching a resolution with respect to the allegations. Consequently, the sentence determines that he is guilty of the offence of bodily injury with deformity. Consequently, he is sentenced to two years in prison, with the sentence suspended.
Additionally, the court ruling mandates that the victim be prohibited from approaching within 300 metres for a period of three years and that he be awarded €9,000 in compensation, with the obligation to pay the sum in monthly instalments of €500.
