Arrested in Urduliz for disorder at metro station
The Ertzaintza detained a 22-year-old man in Urduliz on Saturday on suspicion of committing a public disorder offence, according to Google News ES — Crime. The arrested man had participated in throwing bottles at a young man and two security guards at the local metro station.
At 06:20 hours, Ertzaintza officers received a report of a fight at Urduliz metro station. Upon arrival, a 22-year-old victim of Spanish nationality was inside the premises alongside two security guards. According to preliminary investigations, the young man had attempted to mediate in a prior altercation when several people began to assault him and throw objects at him.
The security guards intervened to stop the assault and protect the victim, at which point they too were struck by several of the thrown objects. The situation forced them to close the doors of the premises to secure the interior.
Once the situation inside was under control, patrols gathered a description of one of the suspected perpetrators through the testimony of the security guards. Meanwhile, a group of approximately 200 people remained outside the facility in a hostile manner, which led officers to request reinforcements.
Patrols from the Ertzain-Etxeak police stations in Bilbao, Sestao and Erandio arrived in support. With the arrival of these officers, agents managed, peacefully, to disperse the crowd from the entrances to the station.
Shortly afterwards, in the vicinity, officers located a 22-year-old man of Spanish nationality who matched the description provided by the security guards. The victims identified him without doubt as one of those responsible for throwing the bottles. In light of this evidence, officers proceeded with his arrest on suspicion of committing a public disorder offence.
The arrested man had a previous arrest for offences of a similar nature. He was taken to police facilities to carry out the corresponding proceedings and, once completed, will be handed over to the judiciary.
