Four minors arrested over assault with a weapon in Conxo festival
The Specialised and Violent Crime Unit (UDEV) of the National Police detained four minors on suspicion of involvement in a brawl that occurred during the Mercé de Conxo festival in Santiago de Compostela, according to lavozdegalicia.es. In the incident, a 19-year-old young man received a beating and suffered wounds from a sharp weapon.
Following the assault, the UDEV opened an investigation to identify those responsible. As all those involved were under 18 years of age, the police proceedings were referred to the Minor Offenders' Public Prosecution Office in A Coruña. The charges brought against them include injuries, threats and riotous assembly.
The Santiago police station specified that the operation forms part of the UDEV's investigative efforts in Santiago, aimed at guaranteeing public safety and preventing episodes of violence in public spaces and during mass gatherings.
The victim and detainees are of Hispanic American origin. The injured party knew his assailants, as they live on the same street in Santiago. According to available information, the problems between them are believed to have begun after a conflict that arose in a nightclub, related to a young woman who had previously been in a relationship with one of those now arrested.
