Assault with adjustable spanner on public street
National Police detained a man of Chinese nationality in Palma after striking another man on the head with an adjustable spanner. According to okdiario.com, the assault occurred late on Wednesday evening on Jacinto Verdaguer Street when a call to 091 alerted authorities to a fight on a public street.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a healthcare worker already attending to the victim. The impact to the head was significant: the medical professionals indicated that the wound required between seven and eight stitches. Several witnesses present provided a description of the alleged assailant and reported that he had fled on foot accompanied by a woman.
The victim explained that the attacker had approached from behind without warning and discharged the weapon against his head without saying a word. Witnesses indicated that the suspect and his companion were sitting on a nearby bench, opposite where the victim was located with others present.
Police patrols deployed searches across the area and located the suspect in a nearby bar. Officers confirmed that he had traces of blood on his jacket. Two witnesses were discreetly taken to the establishment and recognised the individual without doubt as the perpetrator of the assault.
During questioning, with the help of a translator, the detainee offered a different version: he claimed that the victim had previously confronted and bothered him, leading to a fight. The evidence gathered—the biological traces on his clothing and the direct testimonies—led officers to proceed with his arrest as the alleged perpetrator of an aggravated assault offence.
